Away in a Manger

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the skyAnd stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stayClose by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.

Frosty The SnowmanFrosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul.

With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say, He was made of snow but the children

know how he came to life one day. There must have been some magic

in that old silk hat they found, For when they placed it on his head

he began to dance around

Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be And the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me

Thumpety thump thump thumpety thump thump

Look at Frosty go Thumpety thump thump thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow

Grandma got run over by a reindeerGrandma got run over by a reindeer

Walking home from our house Christmas eve.You can say there’s no such thing as Santa,

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She’d been drinking too much egg nog,And we’d begged her not to go.But she forgot her medication,

And she staggered out the door into the snow.

When they found her Christmas morning,At the scene of the attack.

She had hoof prints on her forehead,And incriminating Claus marks on her back.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,Walking home from our house Christmas eve.

You can say there’s no such thing as Santa,But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now were all so proud of Grandpa,He’s been taking this so well.

See him in there watching football,Drinking beer and playing cards with cousin Mel.

Herdsmen beheld these angels bright- To them appeared with great light,

And said, “God’s son is born this night.” Chorus

Therefore this song we have in mind: Chorus

Then, dear Lord, for Thy great grace, Grant us the bliss to see Thy face, Where we may sing to Thy solace:

We hope your holidays hold all of this and more.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

It’s beginning to look a lot like ChristmasEv’rywhere you go;

Take a look in the five and ten glistening once againWith candy canes and silver lanes aglow.It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Toys in ev’ry storeBut the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be

On your own front door.

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shootsIs the wish of Barney and Ben;

Dolls that will talk and will go for a walkIs the hope of Janice and Jen;

And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.

It’s beginning to look a lot like ChristmasEv’rywhere you go;

There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas;Soon the bells will start,

And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you singRight within your heart


Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snowIn a one horse open sleigh

O’er the fields we goLaughing all the wayBells on bob tails ringMaking spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh and singA sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way


A day or two agoI thought I’d take a ride

And soon Miss Fanny BrightWas seated by my side

The horse was lean and lankMisfortune seemed his lotWe got into a drifted bank

And then we got upset

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way



Oh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleigh yeah

Joy to the World Joy to the world, the Lord is come!

Let earth receive her King;Let every heart prepare Him room,

And Heaven and nature sing,And Heaven and nature sing,

And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plainsRepeat the sounding joy,Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessings flowFar as the curse is found,Far as the curse is found,

Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness,And wonders of His love,And wonders of His love,

And wonders, wonders, of His love.

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,Comet and Cupid and Doner and Blitzen.

But do you recall?The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeerHad a very shiny nose,And if you ever saw it,

You would even say it glows.All of the other reindeer

Used to laugh and call him names;They never let poor RudolphJoin in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,Santa came to say,

Rudolph with your nose so bright,Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?

Then how the reindeer loved himAs they shouted out with glee,

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,You’ll go down in history.


See Amid the Winter’s Snow See amid the winter’s snow,

born for us on earth below,

see the tender Lamb appears,

promised from eternal years.

Hail, thou ever blessed morn;

hail, redemption’s happy dawn;

sing through all Jerusalem.

Lo, within a manger lies

he who built the starry skies,

he who throned in height sublime

sits amid the cherubim.

Say, ye holy shepherds, say

what your joyful news today;

wherefore have ye left your sheep

on the lonely mountain steep?

‘As we watched at dead of night,

lo, we saw a wondrous light;

angels singing ‘Peace on earth’

told us of the Saviour’s birth’.

Sacred infant, all divine,

what a mighty love was thine,

thus to come from highest bliss

down to such a world as this!

Hail, thou ever blessed morn;

hail, redemption’s happy dawn;

sing through all Jerusalem

Children laughing People passing

Meeting smile after smile And on every street corner you’ll hear

Silver bells, silver bells It’s Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas day Strings of street lights

Even stop lights Blink a bright red and green

Snickerdoodles


The First NoelThe First Noel, the Angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they layIn fields where they lay keeping their sheepOn a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel!

They looked up and saw a starShining in the East beyond them farAnd to the earth it gave great light

And so it continued both day and night.Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel!

And by the light of that same starThree Wise men came from country far

To seek for a King was their intentAnd to follow the star wherever it went.


This star drew nigh to the northwestO’er Bethlehem it took its rest

And there it did both Pause and stayRight o’er the place where Jesus lay.


Then entered in those Wise men threeFull reverently upon their knee

And offered there in His presenceTheir gold and myrrh and frankincense.


Then let us all with one accordSing praises to our heavenly Lord

That hath made Heaven and earth of noughtAnd with his blood mankind has bought.
