When the night is still
And the sea is calm
Lonely shadow, you call upon me


Lay by my side
Fear not tonight
Lonely shadow, you¡Їll find a new light


Dream a dream
And see through angel¡Їs eyes
A place where we can fly away


Ride with me upon a shining star,
Above the moonlit sky
We will find Elysium

Hear the nightingale
Sing a lullaby
Lonely shadow, you¡Їll find a new light

Dawn will be kind,
All will be bright,
Lonely shadow, rise from the darkness

Dream a dream, etc.

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and beyond Him
Born the King of Angels

O come let us adore Him, (x3)
Christ the Lord.

God of Gods, Light of Light,
Lo, He abhors not the Virgin¡Їs womb;
Very God, Begotten not created

O come let us adore Him, etc.

Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all ye citizens of heav¡Їn above
'Glory to God in the highest

Choir
O come let us adore Him, etc.

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesu, to Thee be glory given
Word of the father now in flesh appearing.

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

Come, they told me, parum pum pum pum,
A new born King to see, parum pum pum pum,
Our finest gifts we bring, parum pum pum pum,
To lay before the King, parum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
So to honour Him, parum pum pum pum,
When we come.

Baby Jesus, parum pum pum pum,

I am a poor boy too , parum pum pum pum,
I have no gift to bring, parum pum pum pum,
That's fit to give our King, parum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
Shall I play for you, parum pum pum pum
On my drum?

Mary nodded parum pum pum pum,

The Ox and Lamb kept time, parum pum pum pum,
I played my drum for Him, parum pum pum pum,
I played my best for Him, parum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
Then He smiled at me, parum pum pum pum,
Me and my drum.

The first Noel, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King from 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.

Long time ago in Bethlehem,
So the Holy Bible say,
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas day.

Hark, now hear the angels sing,

A new king born today,
And man will live forever more,
Because of Christmas Day.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,

Them see a bright new shining star,
Them hear a choir sing,
The music seemed to come from afar.

`Now Joseph and his wife Mary,

Come to Bethlehem that night,
Them find no place to born she child,
Not a single room was in sight.

Hark, now hear the angels sing...etc.

By and by they find a little nook

In a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark,
Mary's little boy was born.

Hark, now here the angels sings.

Trumpets sound and angels sing,

Listen to what they say,
That man will live forever more,
Because of Christmas Day.

Ding dong! merrily on high
In heaven the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riven with angels singing.

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

E'en so here below below,

Let steeple bells be swungen,
And io, io,io,
By priest and people sungen.

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

Pray you dutifully prime

Your matin chime ye ringers.
May you beautifully rime
Your eve time song ye singers.

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

Over the ground lies a mantle of white,
A heaven of diamonds shine down thro'
the night,
Two hearts are thrillin' in spite of the chill in
the weather.
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 list'nin'?!

In the lane snow is glis'nin',
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland!

Gone away is the blue bird,

Here to stay is a new bird,
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland!

In the meadow we can build a snowman

Then pretend that he is Parson Brown,
He'll say "Are you married?"
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
To face unafraid,
The plans that we made,
Walking in a winter wonderland!

Sleigh bells ring, are you lis'nin'?! etc...

Chesnusts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

Help to make the season bright,
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way,

He's loaded lots of toys and goddies on his sleigh,
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although it's been said many times many ways
"Merry Christmas to you"
And every mother's child...etc.

Hark! The herald the angels sing,
'Glory to the new born King;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.
Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skie;
With th'angelic host proclaim,
'Christ is born in Bethlehem!'

Hark! The herald angels sing;

'Glory to the new born 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 th'incarnate Deity!
Pleased as Man with man to dwell;
Jesus, our Immanuel!

Hark! The herald angels sing..etc.



Hail, the heav'nly Prince of peace!

Hail, the Son of Righteouness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Ris'n with healing in His wings.
Mild He leaves His throne on high,
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, etc.


Come, Desire of nations, come,

Fix in us Thy humble home;
Oh, to all Thyself impart,
Formed in each believing heart!
Hark! The herald angels sing,
'Glory to the new-born King;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.

Hark! The herald angels sing..etc.

Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child,
By, by, lully,lullay:
Lully, thou little tiny child,
By,by lully, lullay

O sisters too, how may we do,

For to preserve this day,
This poor young ling, for whom we do sing,
By,by, lully,lullay?

Herod the king in his raging,

Charged he hath this day
His men of might, in his own sight
All children young to slay.

Then woe is me, poor child, for thee,

And ever mourn and say,
For thy parting nor say nor sing,
By,by, lully,lullay.

Joy to world, the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing ( 3x )

Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns;

Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rock, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy (3x )

No more let sin and sorrow grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground.
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found ( 3x )

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nation prove
The glories of His righteouness
And wonder of His love ( 3x )

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn',
This comes to pass when a child is born.

A silent wish sails the seven seas

The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.

A rosy dawn settles all around

You got to feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This come to pass when a child is born.

It's all a dream, an illusion now.

It must come true some time soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn

What child is this,
Who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthem sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
This, this is Christ the King,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why lies He in such mean estate

Where ox and lamb are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.

This, this is Christ the King, etc.


So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,

Come, peasant, kin to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing
you dismay;
Remember, Christ our Saviour 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.

In Bethlehem, in Jewry, this blessed Babe
was born
And laid within a manger upon this
blessed morn;
The which His mother Mary did nothing take
in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.

From God, our Heav'nly 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,

Draw uwch y ddaear mae cysgod y nos,
Ond yno mae golar un seren dlos.
Draw uwch y ddaear mae lluoedd y Nef
yn llawen gyhoeddi ei ddyfod Ef.
Far in the city with no room to spare,
A stable is let to the gentle pair.
Far in the city they both watch and pray
O'er Jesus asleep in His bed of hay.

Draw ar y bryniau mae'r noson yn fwyn
Ar dawel ffriddoedd y defaid a'r wyn.
Over the hillside the shepherds draw near
The angel's glad tidings of joy to hear.

Draw dros y twyni mae cwmni ar daith
yn dilyn y seren ar siwrnai faith.
Over the hills now the wise men do bring
their gifts for our lord and His praise to sing.

Draw tua Bethle'm mae toriad y wawr
Ac yno mae bore'm foliant yn awr.
Far over Bethlehem glad voices call,

Ave Maria, Ave Maria, repeat

The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
'All hail', said he, "thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favour'd lady,
Gloria!

'For known a blessed Mother thou shalt be,

All generations laud and honour thee,
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,
Most highly favour'd lady,
Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her heard,

'To me be as it pleaseth God', she said,
'My soul shall laud and magnify His holy name,
Most highly favour'd lady,
Gloria!


Of her, Emmanuel the Christ, was born,

In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
And Chritian folk throughout the world
will ever say:
Most highly favour'd lady

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a news and glorious morn,

Fall on your knees, O hear the angel 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 came the wise men from the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend.

He knows our need, He guardeth us from danger;

Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!
Behold you King, before Him lowly bend!

Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As men of old have sung
It came, a flow'ret bright,
Amid the cold of winter
When half spent was the light.

Isaiah 'twas foretold it

The rose I have in mind,
With Mary we behold it,
The Virgin Mother kind.

To show God's love aright,

She bore to men a Saviour,
When half spent was the night.

O flow'r, whose fragrance tender

With sweetness fills the air,
Dispel in glorious splendour
The darkness ev'ry where.

True man, yet very God,

From sin and death now save us,

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 ( 2x )

Silent night! Holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia!
Christ the Saviour is born ( 2x )

Silent night! Holy night!

Son of God, love's pure light;
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
