Christmas In America

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas America
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas America

Christmas in America a blessed time of year
Children laughing carolers singing
And Santa mounts his gear
Family friends and food and fun

And sleigh rides down the lane
And all will make a joyful noise
To praise the new born King
Hallelujah hallelujah America

America America it's Christmas time once more
Christmas trees and holly leaves
Mistletoe above the door
Friends are made and pastries bake
And shoppers line the streets
And to those who are less fortunate
We say a prayer for these

Dear Lord we pray this Christmas Day
Your love will lift us all
And help us see our brother's needs
Before we deck our halls
And teach how to give
The greatest gift we can hand out
Love is what America and Christmas is about

America America God shine your love through me
Let me be a beacon Lord for all the world to see
Patriot of love and truth is the chosen word
Christmas in America goodwill and peace on earth
Christmas in America the sweetest day on earth
Hallelujah hallelujah America

Winter Wonderland

Felix Bernard - Dick Smith

Sleigh bells ring are you listening
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight we're happy tonight
Walking in the winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song as he goes 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 when you're in town

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
The face on the frame the plans that we made
Walking in the winter wonderland

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling yoo-hoo
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

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 when you're in town

The face on the frame the plans that we made
Walking in the winter wonderland

I'll be home for Christmas you can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe and presents on the tree

I'll be home for Christmas you can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe and presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me where the love light gleams
And I'll be home for Christmas if only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

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'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 streetlights even stoplights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle 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

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

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Hugh Martin - Ralph Blane

© Leo Feist Music, ASCAP

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Here we are as in olden days...

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Joy To The World

Isaac Watts - Georg Handel

© David Smither Music, BMI

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
Let fields and flocks
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat repeat the sounding joy

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 and wonders of His love

And wonders and wonders of His love

Away In A Manger

William Kirkpatrick - Martin Luther

© Robbins Music, ASCAP

Away in a manger no crib for his 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 on 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 sky
And stay by my side until morning is nigh

Be near me Lord Jesus I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there

O Little Town Of Bethlehem

Lewis Redner - Phillips Brooks

© Robbins Music, ASCAP

Oh little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together proclaim thy holy birth
And praises sing to God the king and peace to men on earth

Oh little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our heavenly father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tiding of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name

O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

The First Noel

Traditional

The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
In fields where lay they're keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel Noel Noel Noel born is the King of Israel

The first Noel the angels did say

For all to see there was a bright star shining
In the east beyond them far
And Judia Earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

Noel Noel Noel Noel born is the King of Israel
Noel Noel Noel Noel born is the King of Israel

What Child Is This

William Dix

© Acuff-Rose Music, 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

He lies in such a lowly place
Where ox and ass are feeding
The end of fear for all who hear
The silent word they're speaking

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

Silent Night

Franz Gruber - Joseph Mohr

© Educational Graphics Press, BMI

Silent night holy night
All is calm all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night holy night
Son of God love's pure light
With the angels let us sing
Hallelujah to our King
Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour is born
Merry Christmas
