Carols in the Park AWAY IN A MANGER
JINGLE BELLS/RUDOLPH MEDLEY
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
Dashing through the snow One a one horse open sleigh Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way Bells on bob tail ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
Oh, 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
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle ‘til morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph Play in any reindeer games
And take us to heaven, to live with thee there.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright, Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?” Then all the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, You’ll go down in history!

Carols in the Park SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN
THE FIRST NOEL The First Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds In fields as they lay In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.
He’s making a list And checking it twice He’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice Santa Claus is coming to town
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.
He sees you when you’re sleeping He knows when you’re awake He knows if you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sake
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.
Repeat Chorus
This star drew nigh to the northwest, O’er Bethlehem it took it rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay.
He sees you when you’re sleeping He knows when you’re awake He knows if you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sake
Then entered in those wise men three Full reverently upon their knee, and offered there in his presence Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
Repeat Chorus
Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord; That hath made heaven and earth of naught, And with his blood mankind hath bought

Merry Christmas
Carols in the Park HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS
HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING
Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light From now on Our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yule-tide gay From now on Our troubles will be miles away
Hark! Tthe 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!”
Here were are as in olden days Happy golden days of yore Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more
Christ, by highest heav’n adored: Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the favored one. Veil’d in flesh, the Godhead see; Hail, th’incarnate Deity: Pleased, as man, with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel! Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
Through the years we all will be together If the Fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Hail! The heav’n born Prince of peace! Hail! The Son of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Risen 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!”

Carols in the Park I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
STAR OF WONDER
I’ll be home for Christmas You can plan on me Please have snow and mistletoe And presents by the tree
We three kings are coming again Bearing gifts from the East From the East Some say a star will rise again In the hearts of humankind Some say we have been in exile What we need is solar fire
Christmas Eve will find me Where the love light gleams I’ll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams I’ll be home for Christmas You can plan on me Please have some snow and mistletoe And presents by the tree
Star of wonder, star of night Star of royal beauty Westward leading, still proceeding A star A star of wonder
Christmas Eve will find me Where the love light gleams I’ll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams
We bring gold and myrrh for him From the East, frankincense From the East
I’ll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams
Some say a star will rise again In the hearts of humankind Some say we have been in exile What we need is solar fire Star of wonder, star of night Star of royal beauty Westward leading, still proceeding A star Star of wonder, star of night Star of royal beauty Westward leading, still proceeding A star A star of wonder Of wonder.

Joy to the world Joy to the world 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
Hark! Now here the angels sing: “New King’s born today And man will live for evermore Because of Christmas Day Now Joseph and his wife Mary Came to Bethlehem that night They found no place to bear her child, Not a single room was in sight
Joy to the world, now we sing Let the earth receive her king Joy to the world, now we sing Let the angel voices ring Joy to the world, now we sing Let men their songs employ Joy to the world, now we sing Repeat the sounding joy
Hark! Now hear the angels sing; “New King’s born today And man will live for evermore Because of Christmas Day By and by they found a little nook In a stable all forlorn And in a manger cold and dark Mary’s little boy/child was born
Oh oh He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The light of His righteousness And wonders of His love And wonders of His love And wonders of His love And wonders, wonders, of His love And wonders, wonders, of His love
Trumpets sound and angels sing Listen to what they say That man will live for evermore Because of Christmas Day
Joy to the world, now we sing Let the earth receive her king Joy to the world, now we sing Let the angel voices ring

Carols in the Park ROCKIN AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE
DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR Said the night wind to the little lamb Do you see what I see Way up in the sky little lamb Do you see what I see A star, a star Dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite
Rocking around the Christmas Tree At the Christmas party hop Mistletoe hung where you can see Every couple tries to stop You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear voices singing “Let’s be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly” Rocking around the Christmas Tree Have a happy holiday Everyone’s dancing merrily In a new old fashioned way
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear Ringing through the sky shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear A song, a song High above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea
Rocking around the Christmas tree Let the Christmas spirit ring Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie And we’ll do some carolling
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king Do you know what I know In your palace wall mighty king Do you know what I know A child, a child Shivers in the cold Let us bring him silver and gold Let us bring him silver and gold
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear voices singing “Let’s be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly” Rocking around the Christmas tree Have a happy holiday Everyone’s dancing merrily In a new old fashioned way
Said the king to the people everywhere Listen to what I say Pray for peace people everywhere Listen to what I say The child, the child Sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light

Carols in the Park SILENT NIGHT
O HOLY 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
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 soul rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
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 dawn of redeeming grace Jesus Lord, at thy birth Jesus Lord, at thy birth
Fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine Oh night divine
