The first Nöel, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay tending their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Nöel, Nöel, Nöel, Nöel
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.
Nöel, Nöel, Nöel, Nöel
Born is the King of Israel.

Jesus Christ is
Born is the King of Israel. (2x)

Nöel, Nöel, Nöel
Born is the King of Israel.

Jesus
The first Nöel
He is the Son yeah
Born is the King of
King of
Oh yeah yeah
Oh Christ is born
Ooh hallelujah hey
He is born
Oh Christ the King is born

Written by Mel Torme and Robert Wells

(Ooh well ooh Lord)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire (well)
Jack Frost nipping on your nose (mmm)
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe (well)
Help to make the season bright (mmm)
Tiny little tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

(Scats)
You know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
Everybody's mother's child is going to spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
From kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas (scats)
Happy Chanukah
Happy Kwanzaa
Merry Christmas to
To all of you
Merry Christmas to everyone

Written by Gordon Chambers, Barry J. Eastmond and Freddie Jackson

(Oooh oooh oooh oooh)
If there were no presents
Waiting on Santa's sleigh
What would I wish for Christmas
And if Frosty the Snowman
Were melting away
I would pray for hope and unity
On Christmas day

If I had one wish for Christmas
There would be joy
And peace here on earth
If I had one wish for Christmas this year
We would all come together as one

If Rudolph and his reindeer
Ran into delays
I'd still hope for joy this season
And if somehow Santa got lost on his way
I would try to find a way to smile
Smile on Christmas day

Chorus

You know it ain't about
All those material things (no no)
What you've gotta think about
Is the love Christmas brings (yeah)

Chorus 2x

. . .



O holy night.
The stars are brightly shining.
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth. (Oh yes it is now.)
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til He appeared
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 angels' voices
O night divine
O o night when Christ was born
O night
O holy, holy night
O night divine

Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O o night when Christ was born
O night
O night
O holy night
O night divine
Mmm

Written by Kim Gannon, Walter Kent and Buck Ram

I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place I love
Even more than I usually do.
And although I know
It's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas.
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.

Oh oh ah I'll be home for Christmas.
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree.
Oh Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.

If only yeah
Well now, if only, only, only, only
If only in my dreams.
If only
Well, well, well Lord
If only oh
If only in my dreams.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on
Our troubles will be out of sight (my Lord)

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years
We all will be together
If the Fates allow (allow)
Hang a shining star
Upon the highest bough
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas right now

Until the Son of God appears

Bind as one the hearts of all mankind
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease
And be Thyself our King of peace

Mommies and Daddies always believe 
That their little angels are special indeed
And you could grow up to be anything
But who would imagine a king?

A shepherd or teacher is what you could be
Or maybe a fisherman out on the sea
Or maybe a carpenter building things
But who would imagine a king?

It was so clear when the wise men arrived
And the angels were singing Your name
That the world would be different coz you were alive
That's why heaven stood still to proclaim

One day an angel said quietly
That soon He would bring something special to me
And all of the wonderful gifts He could bring
Who would imagine
Who could imagine
Who would imagine a king?

. . .



Joy to the world the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart
Prepare Him room
Let Heaven, let Heaven, Heaven and nature, Heaven and nature sing

Everybody sing joy to the world
For the Lord, for 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
Go tell of His glory
Go shout the new story
Let Heaven and nature sing

Everybody sing joy to the world
For the Lord, for the Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
While fields and floods
Rock hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Go tell of His glory
Go shout the new story
(The Savior is born)
Let Heaven and nature sing

Say joy to the world for the Savior reigns
And makes His blessings flow
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
When the sounding hosts proclaim
Glory to the King
While the angels sing

Everybody sing joy to the world
For the Lord, for the Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart
Prepare Him room
Go tell of His glory
Go shout the new story
Let Heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world, sing joy to the world (6x)
Everybody sing, sing joy to the world
Sing joy, sing joy to the world
Joy, joy, joy, sing joy to the world
Everybody sing, sing joy to the world
Sing joy
Joy to the world

Sing joy, joy, joy
Peace, love, joy
He'll give you love
