Christmas songs and carols around the world

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas


It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
everywhere you go,
take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again,
with candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

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 will 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,
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 will make them 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…

Lyrics by Meredith Willson (1951)

Holy night


Oh 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 appear’d 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
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh 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 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.
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.

Holly Jolly Christmas

Have a holly jolly Christmas
It’s the best time of the year
I don’t know if there’ll be snow
but have a cup of cheer.

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say Hello to friends you know
and everyone you meet.

Ho, ho, the mistletoe
hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me.

Have a holly jolly Christmas,
and in case you didn’t hear,
oh by golly, have a holly
jolly Christmas this year.

Hark! The Herald angels sing

Hark! the 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!”

Christ, by highest heaven adored:
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the favored one.
Veil’d in flesh, the Godhead see;
Hail, the incarnate Deity:
Pleased, as man, with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!

Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn 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 sone of earth,
Born to give them second birth.

Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”

So this is xmas

another year over
and a new one just begun

Drummer boy


Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
When we come.

Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,

Deck the halls


Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
‘Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
While I tell of Yuletide treasure,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.

Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.

Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la

Away in a manger

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.

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 my I pray.

Bless all the dear children,
In thy tender care.
And take them to heaven,
To be with thee there.

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 in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous songs prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
which inspire your heavenly song?

Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem, and see
Him whose birth the Angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, our newborn King.

Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo
