Carols Lyrics
1. HARK THE HERALD
Hark! the herald 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 skies
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new-born King
Christ, by highest heaven adored
Christ, the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold him come
Offspring of the Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh, the God Head see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with men to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new-born King
Hail the Heaven-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 new-born King
2. 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 heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven, and nature sing
Joy to the world, the Savior 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
And wonders wonders of His love
3. IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS – SAM STEPHENS
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten, it's glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes that glow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that'll talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
It's the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that'll make 'em ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
Sure, it's Christmas once more
4. ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria,Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria,Gloria in excelsis Deo
Praise the King of heaven
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing,
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King
Gloria,Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria,Gloria in excelsis Deo
Praise the King of heaven
Gloria,Gloria, Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Jospeh tend your babe
While our hearts in love we raise
Gloria,Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria,Gloria in excelsis Deo
Praise the King of heaven x2
Gloria,Gloria, Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo
5. SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN – TULLY KEDWELL
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
And he knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
'Cause Santa Claus is coming to town
Now, he sees you when you're sleeping
And he knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
6. RUDOLPH, THE RED NOSED REINDEER
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"
7. JINGLE BELLS / AUSSIE JINGLE BELLS
Dashing through the snow
On 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
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
Dashing through the bush in a rusty Holden ute
Kicking up the dust, esky in the boot
Kelpie by my side, singing Christmas songs
It's summer time and I am in my singlet, shorts and thongs
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day (hey!)
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute
Engine's getting hot, we dodged the kangaroos
Swaggie climbs aboard, he is welcome too
All the family is there, sitting by the pool
Christmas day the Aussie way by the barbecue
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day (hey!)
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute
Come the afternoon, Grandpa has a doze
The kids and Uncle Bruce, are swimming in their clothes
The time comes round to go, we take a family snap
And pack the car and all shoot through before the washing up
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day (hey!)
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute
8. ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU – AMARA CRUTCHER
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
Yeah
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need (and I)
Don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking there upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy on Christmas Day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow (and I)
I'm just gonna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it to the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
Oh-oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere (so brightly, baby)
And the sound of children's laughter fills the air (oh, oh, yeah)
And everyone is singing (oh, yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need? (Yeah, oh)
Won't you please bring my baby to me?
Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby standing right outside my door
Oh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby
All I want (I want) for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby
9. LET IT SNOW - SAM STEPHENS
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Man it doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow! Let it snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
And the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you'd love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow and snow!
10. THE CHESTNUTS ROASTING – JOE HOGAN
Chestnuts 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 aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers 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 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
11. WE THREE KINGS
Verse 1
We three kings from Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse a-far
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
Chorus
O, Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Verse 2
Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all, to reign
Verse 3
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him God on high
Verse 4
Myrrh is mine, it’s bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb
Verse 5
Glorious now behold Him a-rise
King and God and sacrifice
Allelulia, allelulia
Sounds through the earth and skies
12. THE FIRST NOEL
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 of 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
The King is born, The King is born, The King is born
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel
Let angels rejoice,
They all bow before Him, the King is born
13. BREATH OF HEAVEN
I have traveled many moonless nights
Cold and weary with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy father you have come
And chosen me now to carry your son
I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now
Be with me now
Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven
Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me
Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
13. AWAY IN A MANGER – AMALI SHULTZ
Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where they lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay
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
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there
15. LITTLE DRUMMER BOY – OLIVER STORRIE
Come they told me
A new born king to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the king
So to honour him, when we come
Little baby
I am a poor boy too
I have no gift to bring
That's fit to give a king
Shall I play for you, on my drum
Mary nodded
The ox and lamb kept time
I played my drum for him
I played my best for him
Then he smiled at me
Me and my drum
16. SILENT NIGHT – STACEY EVANS
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
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ our Savior is born
Christ our Savior is bor
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
BRIEF TALK ABOUT CHRISTMAS – PASTOR JOHN PARER
17. CHRISTMAS HALLELUJAH – DANIEL BREWER AND JESSICA HICKEY
I've heard about this baby boy
Who's come to earth to bring us joy
And I just want to sing this song to you
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
With every breath I'm singing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
A couple came to Bethlehem
Expecting child, they searched the inn
To find a place for You were coming soon
And there was no room for them to stay
So in a manger filled with hay
God's only Son was born, oh Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
The shepherds left their flocks by night
To see this baby wrapped in light
A host of angels led them all to You
It was just as the angels said
You'll find Him in a manger bed
Immanuel and Savior, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
A star shown bright up in the east
To Bethlehem, the wisemen three
Came many miles and journeyed long for You
And to the place at which You were
Their frankincense and gold and myrrh
They gave to You and cried out Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I know You came to rescue me
This baby boy would grow to be
A man and one day die for me and you
My sins would drive the nails in You
That rugged cross was my cross, too
Still every breath You drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
18. O HOLY NIGHT – STACEY LEE EVANS
Verse 1
O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appears and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
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!
Verse 2
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 come the Wise Men from Orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
Verse 3
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
Christ is the Lord; O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim
19. O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL
O come, all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels
CHORUS
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Sing, choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God
All glory in the highest
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee
Born this happy morning
O Jesus, to thee be all glory given
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing
20. HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS – POPPY YATES
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles, will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles, will be miles away
Once again, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
*EXTRA SONGS
MARY’S BOY CHILD
Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day
CHORUS
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and Angels sing, listen to what they say
That Man will live forever more, because of Christmas Day
While shepherds watch their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir sing, the music seemed to come from afar
Now Joseph and his wife Mary, come to Bethlehem that night
Them found no place to born the child, not a single room was in sight
By and by they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark, Mary’s little boy was born
Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day
O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above the dark and dreamless sky
The silent stars go by
For in the dark sky shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the Angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together,
Proclaim the Holy birth
And praises sing, to God the King,
And peace to men, on earth.
O Holy child of Bethlehem,
Descend on us we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels,
Their great glad tidings tell,
O come to us, abide in us,
Our Lord, Emanuel.
