JOY TO THE WORLD


Joy to the world, the Lord has come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, and heaven, 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, 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.

I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY


I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Till, ringing singing, on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!

And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men."
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.

Peace on earth (7X)

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men."

CHRISTMAS WRAPPING


Bah Hum.. No that's too strong!
Cause it's my favorite holiday
But all this years been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
to add to my already mad rush
just because it is the season
the perfect gift for me would be
completions and connections left from last year
world tour, aeroplanes and babies.
Met some guys but never the time
most of 98 was along those lines.

so deck the halls and trim those trees
raise up the cups of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas with my mates this year

Calendar picture
Frozen landscape
chill this room for twenty four days
evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with
flash back to spring time,
sunny again
would have been good to go for lunch
couldn't agree when we were both free
we tried, we said we'd keep in touch,
we didn't of course till the summer time,
out to the beach to his boat could have joined him
no this time, it was me, sunburn in the third degree
now the calendars just one page
and of course I am excited
tonight's the night but I've set my mind
not to do too much about it.

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year

Hardly dashing through the snow
cause I bundled up too tight
last minutes have-to-dos
a few cards, a few calls
because it's R S V P
no thanks, no party lads
it's christmas eve, gonna relax
turn down all of my invites
last fall I had a night to myself
some guy called halloween party
waited all night for him to show
this time his car wouldn't go
forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
trudge on home to celebrate
in a quite way I unwind,
doing christmas right this time

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think i'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think i'll miss this one this year

Tesco has provided me with the world's smallest turkey
all ready in the oven, nice and hot
oh damn, guess what I forgot
so it's on with the boots back out in the snow
to the only all night garage but when to my wondering eyes should appear
in the line that guy i've been chasing all year
spending this one alone he said
give me a break this years been crazy
I said me too, but why are you...
you mean you forgot the papers too
then suddenly we laughed and laughed
caught on to what was happening
Christmas magic's brought this down to a very happy en-ending.

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR


It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap- happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year

INTRUMENTAL

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year

O HOLY NIGHT


O 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 appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Refrain 1
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy 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 Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend!


Refrain 2
He knows our need, To our weaknesses is no stranger.
Behold your King, before him lowly bend!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!


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!


Refrain 3
Christ is the Lord, O, Praise his name forever.
His power and glory every more proclaim!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN


Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,
He was made of snow but the children
Know how he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that
Old silk hat they found.
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around.

O, Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be,
And the children say he could laugh
And play just the same as you and me.

Frosty the snowman knew
The sun was hot that day,
So he said, "Let's run and
We'll have some fun
Now before I melt away."

Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there all
Around the square saying,
Catch me if you can.

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop.
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler "Stop!"

For Frosty the snow man
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying,
"Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.
