Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll take a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne We twa hae run aboot the braes And pou'd the gowans fine; we've wander'd mony a weary foot Sin' auld lang syne We two hae paidled i' the burn, Frae mornin' sun till dine; But seas between us braid hae roar'd Sin' auld lang syne And here's a hand, my trusty friend, And gie's a hand o' thine; We'll take a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll take a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne
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 poor Baby wakes But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes I love Thee, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky And stay by my side, 'Til 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 take us to heaven To live with Thee there
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la, la la la la 'Tis the season to be jolly Fa la la la la, la la la la Don we now our gay apparel Fa la la, la la la, la la la Troll the ancient Yuletide carol Fa la la la la, la la la la See the blazing Yule before us Fa la la la la, la la la la Strike the harp and join the chorus Fa la la la la, la la la la Follow me in merry measure Fa la la, la la la, la la la While I tell of Yuletide treasure Fa la la la la, la la la la Fast away the old year passes Fa la la la la, la la la la Hail the New Year, lads and lasses Fa la la la la, la la la la Sing we joyous, all together Fa la la, la la la, la la la Heedless of the wind and weather Fa la la la la, la la la la
Here we come a-caroling
Among the leaves so green, Here we come a wand'ring, So fair to be seen. Love and joy come to you, And to your wassail too And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year, And God send you a Happy New Year. We are not daily beggars Who beg from door to door, But we are neighbors' children, Whom you have seen before. Love and joy come to you, And to your wassail too And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year, And God send you a Happy New Year. God bless the Master of this house, Likewise the Mistress too And all the little children, That round the table go. Love and joy come to you, And to your wassail too And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year, And God send you a Happy New Year. And all your kin and kinfolk That dwell both far and near We wish a Merry Christmas And Happy New Year. Love and joy come to you, And to your wassail too And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year, And God send you a Happy New Year.
I have a little dreidel
I made it out of clay And when it's dry and ready Then, dreidel I shall play. Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel I made it out of clay Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel Now dreidel we shall play. It has a lovely body With legs so short and thin And when it gets all tired It drops and then I win. My dreidel is so playful It loves to dance and spin A happy game of dreidel Come play now, let's begin. I made it out of clay And when it's dry and ready Then, dreidel I shall play. Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel I made it out of clay Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel Now dreidel we shall play. It has a lovely body With legs so short and thin And when it gets all tired It drops and then I win.
Joy to the world! The Lord is come.
Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room; And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n and nature sing. And heav’n and heav’n and nature sing. Joy to the world, the Savior reigns Let men their songs employ While fields and floods, Rocks, hills, and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy No more let sin and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow Far 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.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches! In beauty green will always grow Through summer sun and winter snow. O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, How lovely are your branches! O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree, You are the tree most loved! How often you give us delight In brightly shining Christmas light! O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree, You are the tree most loved! O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree, Your beauty green will teach me That hope and love will ever be The way to joy and peace for me. O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree, Your beauty green will teach me.
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, 'Til 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! O, hear the angels' voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born; O night divine, O night, O 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 He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger, Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend! Behold your King, Behold your King. 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. Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever, His power and glory evermore proclaim. His power and glory evermore proclaim.
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, Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar, Heav'nly 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
