WINTER WONDERLAND

(Felix Bernard - Dick Smith) « © '46 WB Music, ASCAP »
Over the ground lies a mantle of white
A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night
Two hearts are thrilling in spite of the chilling weather

Sleigh bells ring are you listening in the lane snow is glistening
It's beautiful sight we're happy tonight walking in the winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird here to stay is a newbird
He sings a love song as we go alone walking in the winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build the snowman and pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you merry we'll say no man but you can do the job here in town

Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire
The face on the frame the vows that we made walking in the winter wonderland
[ guitar ] Love knows no season love knows no clime
Romance can blossom any old time
Here in the open we're walking and hoping together

Sleigh bells ring are you listening...
In the meadow we can build the snowman...
Later on we'll conspire...
The face on the frame the vows that we made walking in the winter wonderland
Walking in the winter wonderland walking in the winter wonderland

BEAUTIFUL STAR OF BETHLEHEM

(A.L. Phipps) « © '63 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shinning far through shadows dimmed
Giving the life for those who long have gone on
Guiding the wise men on their way unto the place where jesus lay
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on

Oh beautiful star the hope of light guiding the pilgrims through the night
Over the mountains till the break of dawn
Into the land of perfect day it will give out a lovely ray
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on

Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine upon us until the glory dawn
Give us a lamp to light the way unto the land of perfect day
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on

Oh beautiful star the hope the grace for the redeem of good and blessed
Yonder in glory when the crowd is one
Jesus is now the star divine brighter and brighter he will shine
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on

Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem...
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on

WHO IS THIS BABE

(Don Potter) « © '85 Sheep In Tow Music, BMI »
Who is this baby where did he come from
He's the son of a carpenter the chosen one
He's the hope of the angels a gift of his love
Just a child in a manger God's only son
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

Shepards were watching out under the sky
When the star over Bethlehem lit up the night
He's the light in the darkness a gift from above
He is held with the spirit of God's holy love
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Angels sing worship our king

SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN

(Haven Gillespie - Fred J. Coots) « © '34 Feist Catalog, ASCAP / Gillespie Haven Music, ASCAP »
Oh you better watch out you better not cry
You better not pout I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's a makin' a list checkin' in twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town

He sees you when you're sleeping he knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake

Oh you better watch out you better not cry
You better not pout I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

With little tin horns and a little toy drums
A root a toot toot and a rum a tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants boats and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town

The kids and girls in boyland will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland all around the Christmas tree
[ guitar ] So you better watch out you better not cry
You better not pout I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Yeah Santa Claus is comin' to town Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin' Santa Claus is comin'

SILVER BELLS

(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans) « © '51 Paramount Music, ASCAP »
Christmas makes you feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens whatever may be
Here is what Christmas time means to me

Silver bells silver bells it's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling hear them ring soon it will be Christmas Day

City sidewalks busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing people passing meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear

Silver bells silver bells...

Silver bells silver bells
[ guitar ] Ring a ling hear them ring soon it will be Christmas Day
Soon it will be Christmas Day

WHAT CHILD IS THIS

(William C. Dix - Eugene Clark) « © '63 Good News Broadcasting, BMI »
What child is this who laid to rest on Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet while shepherds watch are keeping

This this is Christ the King whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring him laud the babe the son of Mary

Why lies he in such mean estate where ox and ass are feeding
Good Christian fear for sinners here the silent word is pleading

This this is Christ the King...

So bring him incense gold and myrrh come peasant king to own him
The king of kings salvation brings let loving hearts enthrone him

This this is Christ the King...
This this is Christ the King...

AWAY IN A MANGER

(William H. Kirkpatrick - Martin Luther) « © '56 Good News Broadcasting, BMI »
(Away in a manger no crib for his bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
The stars in the heavens look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay)
Be neear me Lord Jesus I ask Thee to stay
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
[ autoharph ] Away in a manger no crib for his bed...
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay

O HOLY NIGHT

(Adolphe C. Adam) « © '58 Writer Share, PD »
O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared and the soul felts its worth

A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees oh hear the angel voices
O night divine o night when Christ was born
O night divine o night divine o night divine

(O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared and the soul felts its worth)

A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices...

SILENT NIGHT

(Franz Gruber - Joseph Mohr) « © '53 Educational Graphics Press, BMI »
Silent night holy night all is calm all is bright
Round young virgin mother and child holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night holy night shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar heavely hosts sing alleluia
Christ the Saviour is born Christ the Saviour is born

Silent night holy night son of God love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face with the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord at Thy birth Jesus Lord at Thy birth
Sleep in heavenly peace
