Joy to the world! the lord is come：
Let earth receive her king.
Let ev'ry heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing,

2.When Love Came Down
Words：chris eaton
Music：chris eaton
Christmas eve, 2 am
Heavy snow is falling down
And the streets clothed in white
Echo songs that were sung by candlelight
We're alive, we can breathe
But do we really care for this world in need？
There's a choice we must make each and every day
So close your eyes and share the dream
Let everyone on earth believe
The child was born, the stars shone bright
And love came down at christmas time
And love came down at christmas time
So merry christmas everyone
And peace throughout the year
The time has come to celebrate
So let your voices fill the air
Everyone, watch and pray that the sun will shine on a brighter
day
Join your hands, lift them high
For this gift of life
When love came down at christmas time
When love came down at christmas time
When love came down at christmas time
When love came down at christmas time
So close your eyes and share the dream
Let everyone on earth believe
The child was born, the stars shone bright
And love came down at christmas time
And love came down at christmas time
3.Angels We Have Heard On High
Angels we have heard on high,
Singing sweetly through the night,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.
Chorus
Gloria in excelsis deo.
Gloria in excelsis deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee？
Why these songs of happy cheer？
What great brightness did you see？
What glad tiding did you hear？
Chorus
Gloria in excelsis deo.
Gloria in excelsis deo.
Come to bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the lord, the new-born king.
Chorus
Gloria in excelsis deo.
Gloria in excelsis deo.
See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.
Chorus
Gloria in excelsis deo.
Gloria in excelsis deo.
4.Let It Snow!
Sammy cahn, jule styne (c) 1945
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And i brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally say good night,
How i'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home i'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
5.Sleigh Ride
Mitchell parish, leroy anderson 1948
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.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Let's go, let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
It's grand, just holding your hand,
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land.
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
There's a birthday party
At the home of farmer gray
It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop,
At the fireplace while we watch
The chestnuts pop. pop! pop! pop!
There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy,
When they pass around the chocolate
And the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
By currier and ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives!
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.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Let's go, let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
It's grand, just holding your hand,
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land.
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
6.Carol Of The Bells
Hark! how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say,
'throw cares away.'
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From ev'rywhere
Filling the air
O how happy are their tones
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas
On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To ev'ry home
(repeat from the beginning)
Ding, dong, ding, dong.
7.What Child Is This？
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!
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant king to own him,
The king of kings, salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby：
Joy, joy, for christ is born,
The babe, the son of mary!
8.Oh Holy Night
Words：chappeau de roquemaure
Translated：john s. dwight
Oh holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from orient land
The king of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend.
Truly he taught us to love one another
His law is love and his gospel is peace
Chains shall he break for the slave is our brother
And in his name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise his holy name.
9.How Great Our Joy
10.Emmanuel God With Us／ O Come, O Come Emmanuel
She lit a candle in a downtown cathedral
Quietly confessing, counting on a blessing
She looked as if she had nowhere to go
I could see her weeping
Hands together hoping you would hear...
This is the time of year
We hold our families near
But god let us be a friend to the hurting
Oh emmanuel, god with us
Spirit revealed in us
That we may be your hope to the world
Oh emmanuel, god with us
With a light to break the darkness
That we may show your hope to the world
Emmanuel, god with us
Be god in us
I moved in closer just so i could see her face
Maybe she was a mother
Someone's only daughter
Her silver hair shimmered like the snow
Christmas bells were ringing
Now beside her kneeling i asked her name
(and she said)
This was the time of year
I had my family near
But they've all gone and i have been so lonely
(chorus)
So with my family that christmas day
A girl of sixty years would laugh and play
And as we watched her dance our eyes were full of tears...

12.Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
J. fred coots, henry gillespie (c) 1934
Oh! you better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why：
Santa claus is coming to town!
He's making a list,
Checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.
Santa claus is coming 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 telling you why：
Santa claus is coming to town!
13.Jingle Bell Rock
Bobby helms
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in jingle bell square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock.
14.Coventry Carol
the chorus is the same- however the verses are very different
Luly lullay,thou little tiny child
By by luly, lullay
Thou little tiny child
By by luly lullay
The 3 kings traveled from afar
And offered their gifts so rare
They bowed in awe beneath that star
Their homage to declare
Now we come too, to see the child
To see the child divine
We offer now to him so mild
The gift of ourselves, a sign.
Luly lullay- thou little tiny child
By by luly lullay.(repeat)
15.One King
Written：jeff borders, gayla borders, lowell alexander
Kings of earth on a course unknown
Bearing gifts from afar
Hoping praying
Following yonder star
Silhouette of a caravan
Painted against the sky
Wise men searching
For the holy child
(chorus)
One king held the frankincense
One king held the myrrh
One king held the purest gold
One king held the hope of the world
A star hangs over bethlehem
A journey ends in the night
Three kings trembling
Behold the glorious sight
Heaven's treasure emmanuel
Drawing men to bow down
Tiny baby born to wear a crown
(repeat chorus)
16.Not That Far From Bethlehem
Words：jeff borders, gayla borders, lowell alexander
music：jeff borders, gayla borders, lowell alexander
Underneath the stars
Just a simple man and wife
Somewhere in the dark
His words cut the silent night
Take my hand, for the child
That you carry is god's own
And though it seems the road is long
(chorus)
We're not that far from bethlehem
Here all our hope and joy begins
For in our arms we'll cherish him
We're not that far, not that far from bethlehem
Let us celebrate
As the christmases go by
Learn to live our days
With our hearts near to the child
Ever drawn, ever close
To the only love that lasts
And though 2000 years have passed
(2nd chorus)
We're not that far from bethlehem
Where all our hope and joy began
For when our hearts still cherish him
We're not that far, not that far from bethlehem
