CHRISTMAS IS COMING
Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat
Please put a penny in the old man’s hat
If you haven’t got a penny, a halfpenny will do
If you haven’t got a halfpenny, well god bless you
Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat
Please put two pennies in the old man’s hat
If you haven’t got two pennies, a halfpenny will do
If you haven’t got a halfpenny, well god bless you
Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat
Please put three pennies in the old man’s hat
If you haven’t got three pennies, a halfpenny will do
If you haven’t got a halfpenny, well god bless you
Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat
Please put four pennies in the old man’s hat
If you haven’t got four pennies, a halfpenny will do
If you haven’t got a halfpenny, well god bless you
If you haven’t got four pennies, a halfpenny will do
If you haven’t got a halfpenny, well god bless you

WE THREE KINGS
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
(chorus)
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Born a King on Bethlehem plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign
(chorus)
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him God most high
(chorus)
Myrrh is mine, it’s bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in a stone cold tomb
(chorus)
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and sacrifice
Heaven sings out Alleluia
Alleluia the earth replies
(chorus)

SILENT NIGHT
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
Heavenly 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

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 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 be my bedside til morning is nigh
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there

HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING
Hark the herald angels sing
'Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled'
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim
'Christ is born in Bethlehem'
Hark! The herald angels sing
'Glory to the newborn King'
Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
'Glory to the newborn King'
Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
'Glory to the newborn King'

THE FIRST NOEL
The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winters night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And 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 star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Then entered in those Wise men three
Fall reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
11
XCDB05 TRACK 8 / 20
THE FIRST NOEL (Continued)
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind have bought
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID'S CITY
Once in royal David’s city
Stood a lowly cattle shed
Where a mother laid her Baby
In a manger for His bed
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her little Child
He came down to Earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all
And His shelter was a stable
And His cradle was a stall
With the poor, and mean, and lowly
Lived on Earth our Saviour Holy
And through all His wondrous childhood
He would honour and obey
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms He lay
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as He
For He is our childhood’s pattern
Day by day like us He grew
He was little, weak and helpless
Tears and smiles like us He knew
And He feeleth for our sadness
And He shareth in our gladness
Not in that poor lowly stable
With the oxen standing by
We shall see Him, but in heaven
Set at God’s right hand on high
When, like stars, His children crowned
All in white shall wait around
13
XCDB05 TRACK 10 / 20
WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED THEIR FLOCKS
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
‘Fear not’ said he for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind
‘Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind’.
‘To you in David’s town this day
Is born of David’s line
A Saviour who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign’.
The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands
And in a manger laid’.
Thus spake the seraph and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God who thus
Addressed their joyful song
‘All glory be to God on high
And on the Earth be peace
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease'.

O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL

O come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold him, born the King of angels
O come let us adore Him, oh come let us adore Him

O come let us adore Him, oh come let us adore Him

See how the shepherds summoned to His cradle
Leaving their flocks draw with lowly fear

Oh come let us adore Him, oh come let us adore Him
Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord
Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation
Sing all ye citizens of Heaven above

O come let us adore Him, oh come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord

Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing
Oh come let us adore Him, Oh come let us adore Him
Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord

GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN
God rest you merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save poor souls from Satan's power
Which long time gone astray
And its tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
And its tidings of comfort and joy
From God that is Our Heavenly Father
The blessed Angel came
And unto certain Shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
That there was born in Bethlehem
The Son of God by Name
And its tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
And its tidings of comfort and joy
Now when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Saviour lay
They found Him in a manger
Where oxen feed on hay
His Mother Mary kneeling down
Unto the Lord did pray
And its tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
And its tidings of comfort and joy
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
Like we true loving brethren
Each other now embrace
For the merry time of Christmas
Is drawing on a pace
And its tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
And its tidings of comfort and joy

THE HOLLY AND THE IVY
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly wears the crown
(chorus)
Oh the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears the blossom
As white as the lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet saviour
(chorus)
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good
(chorus)
The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas day in the morn
(chorus)

SEE AMID THE WINTER SNOW
See amid the winter snow
Born for us on earth below
See the tender lamb appears
Promised from eternal years
(chorus)
Hail thou ever blessed morn
Hail redemption’s happy dawn
Sing through all Jerusalem
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Lo, within a manger lies
He who built the starry skies
He who thronged in heights sublime
Sits amid the cherubim
(chorus)
Say, ye holy shepherds, say
What’s your joyful news today?
Wherefore hath ye left your sheep?
‘On the lonely mountain steep’
(chorus)
As we watched at dead of night
Lo, we saw a wondrous sight
Angels singing ‘Peace on Earth’
Told us of our Saviour’s birth
(chorus)
Teach, o teach us thy Holy Child
By thy face so meek and mild
Teach us to resemble thee
In thy sweet huminity

MARY HAD A BABY

The people keep a-coming
And the train done gone
What did she name him, oh Lord
She called him Jesus, oh my Lord
Where was he born, oh Lord
The people keep a-coming
And the train done gone
Born in a stable, oh Lord
Where did they lay him, oh my Lord
Laid him in a manger, oh Lord

UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN
Unto us a child is born
King of all creation
Came here to a world forlorn
The Lord of every nation
The Lord of every nation
Cradled in a stall was He
With sleepy cows and asses
But the very beast could see
That He all men surpasses
That He all men surpasses
Herod then with fear was filled
A prince he said in Jewry
All the little boys he killed
At Bethlehem in his fury
At Bethlehem in his fury
Now Mary's Son who came
So long ago to love us
Lead us with all hearts aflame
Unto the joys above us
Unto the joys above us
Omega and Alpha He
Let the organ thunder
While the choir with peals of glee
Doth rend the air asunder
Doth rend the air asunder

JINGLE BELLS
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride, in a one-horse open sleigh
Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride, in a one-horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

HERE WE COME A-WASSAILING
Here we come a wassailing among the leaves so green
Here we come a wandering so fair to be seen
(chorus)
Love and joy come to you
And to you your wassail too
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God send you a Happy New Year
A wassail cup is made up of rosemary tree
And so is your beer of the best barley
(chorus)
We are not daily beggars, that beg from door to door
But we are neighbour’s children, whom you have seen before
(chorus)
Call up the butler of this house, put on his golden ring
Let him bring us up a glass of beer and better we shall sing
(chorus)
We have got a little glass of stretching leather skin
We want a little of your money to line it well within
(chorus)
Bring us up to table and spread it with a cloth
Bring us out some mouldy cheese and some of your Christmas log
(chorus)
God bless the master of this house, likewise the Mistress too
And all the little children, that round the table go

Good master rang good Mistress while your sitting by the fire
Pray think of us small children who are wandering in the mire

GOOD KING WENCESLAS
Good King Wenceslas last looked out, on the Feast of Stephen
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel
‘Hither page and stand by me, if thou know’st it telling
Yonder peasant who is he?, Where and what his dwelling?’
‘Sire his lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes fountain.’
Bring me flesh and bring me wine, bring me pine-logs hither
Thou and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither
Page and monarch forth they went, forth they went together
Through the rude wind’s wild lament and the bitter weather
‘Sire the night is darker now and the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer’
‘Mark my footsteps good my page, tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter’s rage, freeze thy blood less coldly’
In his master's steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod, which the saint had printed
Therefore Christian men be sure, wealth or rank possessing
Ye who now will bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing

When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood

Oh the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears the blossom
It’s white as the lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet saviour
(chorus)
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good
(chorus)
The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas day in the morn
(chorus)
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all

IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen snow snow, snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter, long ago
Our God heaven cannot hold him, nor Earth sustain
Heaven and Earth shall flee away, when he comes to reign
In the bleak midwinter, a stable place sufficed
The Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ
What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man, I would do my part
Yet what can I give him, give my heart
15

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
When I was a learner
I sought by night and day
I asked God to lead me
And he showed me the way
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
He made me a watchman
Upon a city wall
And if I am a Christian
I am the least of all
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Jesus Christ is born
Jesus Christ is born
Jesus Christ is born

GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
For Jesus Christ our Saviour
Was born upon this 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 tidings 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 shepherds at these tidings
Rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a-feeding
In tempest, storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway
The Blessed Babe to find
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
But when to Bethlehem they came
Where our dear Saviour lay
They found Him in a manger
Where oxen feed on hay
His Mother Mary kneeling
Unto the Lord did pray
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
All others doth deface
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR
It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From heavens all eternal King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing
And here beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
Oh rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing
20

HOW FAR IS IT TO BETHLEHEM?
How far is it to Bethlehem, not very far
Shall we find the stable room lit by a star
Can we see the little Child is He within?
If we lift a wooden latch may we go in?
May we stroke the creatures there ox, ass or sheep
May we bleep like them and see Jesus asleep
If we touch His tiny hand will He awake
Will he know we’ve come so far just for His sake
Great gifts and precious gifts and we have not
Little smiles and little tears are all we’ve brought
For all weary children Mary must lead
Here on His bed of straw sleep children sleep
Caught in His mother’s arms Babe's in a barn
Sleep as they sleep who find their hearts desire

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year

UP ON THE HOUSE TOPS
Up on the house top the reindeer paused
Out jumped good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones Christmas joys
(chorus)
Ho ho ho who wouldn’t go
Ho ho ho who wouldn’t go
Up on the house top click click click
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick
First comes the stocking of little Nel
Oh dear Santa fill it well
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that will open and shut her eyes
(chorus)
Next comes the stocking of little Will
Oh just see what a glorious fill
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks
Also a ball and a whip that cracks
(chorus - repeat)

DECK THE HALLS
Deck the hall 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 aperal
Fa la la la la la la la la
Tril the ancient yule tide carol

Deck the hall 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
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 yule tide treasure
Fa la la la la la la la la
Deck the hall 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
Fast away the old year passes
Fa la la la la la la la la
Hail the New Year lads and lasses

JINGLE BELLS
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight
(chorus)
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride, in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride, in a one-horse open sleigh
Now the ground is white, go it while you’re young
Take the girls tonight, sing this sleighing song
Get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty for his speed
Then hitch him to an open sleigh and you will take the lead
(chorus - repeat)

JOLLY OLD SAINT NICHOLAS
Jolly old Saint Nicholas lean your ears this way
Don’t you tell a single soul what I’m going to say
Christmas Eve is coming soon now you dear old man
Whisper what you’ll bring to me tell me if you can

Eating a Christmas pie

And said what a good boy am I

YO-HO YO-HAY
Christmas isn’t far away, the snows about to fall
Santa Claus is on his way, you’re wondering if he’ll call
If you close your eyes real tight, make sure your fast asleep
Santa Claus will come tonight, if you don’t try to peep
(chorus)
Yo-ho yo-hay, Santa Claus is singing
Yo-ho yo-hay, oh Santa’s on his way
Yo-ho yo-hay, lots of toys he’s bringing
Yo-ho yo-hay, it’s nearly Christmas Day
Santa’s making lots of toys, does he know what you’d like?
Lots and lots of girls and boys are fast asleep tonight
When you wake you’ll be surprised to see how good you’ve been
There before your very eyes are toys you’ve never seen
(chorus)
Christmas isn’t far away, the snows about to fall
Santa Claus is on his way, you’re wondering if he’ll call
If you close your eyes real tight, make sure your fast asleep
Santa Claus will come tonight, if you don’t try to peep
(chorus)

MEN OF OLD
As with gladness, men of old
Did the guiding star behold
As with joy they hailed its light
Leading onward, beaming bright
So most glorious Lord may we
Evermore be led to Thee
As with joyful steps they sped
Saviour to Thy lowly bed
There to bend the knee before
Him Whom Heaven and earth adore
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek Thy mercy seat
As they offered gifts most rare
At Thy cradle rude and bare
So may we with holy joy
Pure and free from sin’s alloy
All our costliest treasures bring
Christ to Thee our heavenly King
Holy Jesus every day
Keep us in the narrow way
And when earthly things are past
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide
Where no clouds Thy glory hide
In the heavenly country bright
Need they no created light
Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown
Thou its Sun which goes not down
There forever may we sing
Alleluias to our King

DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH
Ding dong merrliy on high
The bells are gaily ringing
Ding dong happily reply
The angels all are singing
G-l-o-r-i-a, Hosanna in excelsis
Ding dong carol all the bells
Awake now do not tarry
Sing out sound the good Nowells
Jesu is born of Mary
G-l-o-r-i-a, Hosanna in excelsis
Ring out merry merry bells
The angels all are singing
Ding dong swing the steeple bells
Some joyous news we're bringing
G-l-o-r-i-a, Hosanna in excelsis
Hark now happily we sing
The angels wish us merry
Ding dong dancing as we bring
Good news from Virgin Mary
G-l-o-r-i-a, Hosanna in excelsis
G-l-o-r-i-a, Hosanna in excelsis

I’M NOT REALLY NAUGHTY
I didn’t spill the paint pot, it just fell on the floor
I didn’t mean to hurt the dog, his tail shut in the door
I didn’t trip the milkman, he slipped upon my skate
The earlier I go to school, I’m always very late
(chorus)
I’m not really naughty, the bad things I have done
I’ve done a lot of good things, will Father Christmas come
I’m not really naughty, I try to do what’s good
If only I knew how too, I’d do it if I could
I didn’t wake the baby, he didn’t want to sleep
I didn’t hide his rattle, he threw it in the street
I didn’t squeeze the toothpaste, it wanted to escape
I tried to clean my bedroom, it’s always in a state
(chorus x 2)
I didn’t know that Santa, was watching me for sure
I would have picked my skateboard up, and gently closed the door
I didn’t know that Santa, was just about to call
But now I’m being real good, the best child of them all
(chorus - repeat)

IF ONLY I COULD BE WITH SANTA
Sitting by the fire
Christmas time is near
Now we think of Santa
Full of joy and cheer
Busy in his workshop
Lots of things to do
If I could be with him
I could help him too
(chorus)
If only I could be with Santa Claus
If only he could be with me
If only I could be with Santa
How happy I would be
If only I could be with Santa Claus
If only he would have me too
If only I could be with Santa Claus
This is what I’d do
I could help the fairies
Loading up his sleigh
I could pat the reindeer
Help them on their way
I could sort the presents
Put them into sacks
Help him on the rooftops
Down the chimney stacks
(chorus x 2)
I could clean his big boots
Make them shine so bright
I could tie his belt up
Brush his beard so white
I could make a snowman
With a carrot nose
He could wave to Santa
Safely as he goes
(chorus x 2)

I SAW THREE SHIPS
I saw three ships some sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas day in the morning
T'was Joseph and his fair lady
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
T'was Joseph and his fair lady
On Christmas day in the morning
Oh he did whistle and she did sing
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Oh he did whistle and she did sing
On Christmas day in the morning
St Michael was the steersman
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
St Michael was the steersman
On Christmas day in the morning
Pray with us sail those ships all three
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Pray with us sail those ships all three
On Christmas day in the morning
Oh they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Oh they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning
And all the bells on Earth shall ring
On Christmas day, on Christmas Day
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas day in the morning

CARS AND TRAINS
Count the days for Christmas time is near
Very soon ole Santa will be here
Think of all the games you’d like to play
When you get your toys on Christmas Day
(chorus)
Cars and trains and space invader games
Swings and books and pans for little cooks
Teddy bears and telephones that ring
Who can know what Santa Claus will bring
Go to sleep and dream a little dream
All the toys that you have ever seen
Shut your eyes and try to make believe
All the gifts you’re hoping to receive
(chorus x 2)
Do you know what you would really like?
Perhaps a doll, a brand new shinny bike
Make a list and send it right away
Can you wait until its Christmas Day?
(chorus - repeat)

GATHER AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE
Gather around the Christmas tree
Gather around the Christmas tree
Evergreen have it’s branches been
It is king of all the woodland scene
For Christ the King is born today
His reign shall never pass away
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest
Gather around the Christmas tree
Gather around the Christmas tree
Once the pride of the mountainside
Now to cut to grace our Christmas tide
For Christ from heav'n to earth come down
To gain through death a noble crown
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest
Gather around the Christmas tree
Gather around the Christmas tree
Once the pride of the mountainside
Now to cut to grace our Christmas tide
For Christ from heav'n to earth come down
To gain through death a noble crown
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest
Gather around the Christmas tree
Gather around the Christmas tree
Ev'ry bough has a burden now
They are gifts of love for us, we trow
For Christ is born, His love to show
And give good gifts to me below
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest
Gather around the Christmas tree
Gather around the Christmas tree
