Deck the Hall

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
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:
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.
Oh 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:
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.
Oh tidings of comfort and joy!
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a-feeding
In tempest, storm and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straightway,
The son of God to find:
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.
Oh tidings of comfort and joy!

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 everywhere filling the air
O, how they pound, raising the sound
Oer hill and dale, telling their tale
Gayly 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 every home.
In the Bleak Midwinter
In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.
Our God, heav’n cannot hold Him
Nor earth sustain,
Heav’n and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign:
In the bleak mid-winter
A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty
Jesus Christ.
Enough for Him, whom cherubim
Worship night and day,
A breastful of milk
And a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him, whom angels
Fall down before,
The ox and ass and camel
Which adore.
Angels and archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air;
But only His mother
In her maiden bliss
Worshipped the Beloved
With a kiss.
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 I can I give Him,
Give him my heart.
Joy to the World!
Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let Earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry 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 Saviour reigns;
Let all their songs employ;
While fields and floods, 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, wonders of His love.

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,
Heav’nly hosts sing Allelujah;
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.
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 th’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.
Veil’d in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail th’incarnate Deity,
Pleased as Man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King.”
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.
Ris’n with healing in His wings,
Light and life to all He brings,
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hark! the herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King.”
Silver Bells
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 ev’ry street corner you 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 street lights, even stop lights, 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 hear:
Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Old Toy Trains
Old toy trains, little toy tracks,
Little boy toys, coming from a sack,
Carried by a man dressed in white and red,
Little boy don’t you think it’s time you were in bed?
Close your eyes, listen to the skies,
All is calm, all is well,
Soon you’ll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells
Bringing old toy trains, little toy tracks, little boy toys
Coming from a sack,
Carried by a man dressed in white and red,
Little boy don’t you think it’s time you were in bed?
Close your eyes, listen to the skies,
All is calm, all is well,
Soon you’ll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells
Bringing old toy trains, little toy tracks, little boy toys
Coming from a sack,
Carried by a man dressed in white and red,
Little boy don’t you think it’s time you were in bed?
