5. Good Kin g Wencesl
1. Good King Wenceslas 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, Gath’ring winter fuel. 2. ‘Hither, page, and stand by me, If thou know’st it, telling, Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?’ ‘Sire, he lives a good league hence, Underneath the mountain; Right against the forest fence, By Saint Agnes’ fountain.’ 3. 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.
1. Once in royal David’s city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for a bed: Mary was that Mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child.
1. 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.
2. 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.
2. 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 by my side until morning is nigh.
3. 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.
3. 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
3. Away In A Manger
4. 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; Where like stars his children crowned All in white shall wait around.
3. 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
4. While Shepherds Watched 1. While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. 2. ‘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:’ 3. ‘The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid.’ 4. ‘All glory be to God on high, And on the earth be peace; Good-will henceforth from heaven to men Begin and never cease.

6. Angels from the realms of glory 1. Angels from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o’er all the earth; Ye who sang creation’s story, Now proclaim Messiah’s birth: Come and worship, Come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King! 2. Shepherds, in the fields abiding, Watching o’er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant Light; Come and worship, Come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King! 3. Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great desire of nations, Ye have seen His natal star; Come and worship, Come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King! 4. Saints before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear: Come and worship, Come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King!
7. The H olly an d the I vy 1. The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown Of all the trees that are in the wood The holly bears the crown Chorus O the rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing of the choir 2. The holly bears a blossom As white as any flower And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To be our sweet Saviour Repeat Chorus 3. The holly bears a prickle As sharp as any thorn And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ on Christmas day in the morn. Repeat Chorus 4. The holly bears a bark As bitter as any gall; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ For to redeem us all.
Cascabel, cascabel, Musica de amor. Dulces horas. Gratas horas, Juventud en flor. Cascabel, cascabel, Tan sentimental. No ceces, oh cascabel, De repiquetear. 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. Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh O 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 And sing this sleighing song Just bet a bobtail nag Two forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You’ll take the lead. Repeat chorus above
