2.White Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones i used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones i used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
With every christmas card i write
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones i used to know

And may all your christmases be white

4.Jingle Bells

Chorus:
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

Dashing thro' the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh.

Repeat chorus

Verse:
A day or two ago, i thought i'd take a ride
And soon miss fanny bright

Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into and drifted back, and we we've got upset

5.Mary's Boy Child/oh My Lord

Mary's boy child

Mary's boy child jesus christ, was born on christmas day.
And man will live for evermore, because of christmas day.

Long time ago in bethlehem, so the holy bible said,
Mary's boy child jesus christ, was born on christmas day.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of christmas day.
Mary's boy child jesus christ, was born on christmas day.

While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
They see a bright new shining star,
They hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from
afar.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of christmas day.

For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted
'let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace'.

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.

And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark, mary's little boy was born.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of christmas day.
Mary's boy child jesus christ, was born on christmas day.

Oh a moment still worth was a glow, all the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted
'let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace'.

Oh my lord

Oh my lord
You sent your son to save us
Oh my lord
Your very self you gave us
Oh my lord
That sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more

Oh my lord
When in the crib they found him
Oh my lord
A golden halo crowned him
Oh my lord
They gathered all around him
To see him and adore

(this day will live forever)
Oh my lord (so praise the lord)
They had become to doubt you
Oh my lord (he is the truth forever)
What did they know about you
Oh my lord (so praise the lord)
But they were lost without you
They needed you so bad (his light is shining on us)

Oh my lord (so praise the lord)
With the child's adoration
Oh my lord (he is a personation)
There came great jubilation
Oh my lord (so praise the lord)
And full of admiration
They realized what they had (until the sun falls from the sky)

Oh my lord (oh praise the lord)
You sent your son to save us
Oh my lord (this day will live forever)
Your very self you gave us
Oh my lord (so praise the lord)
That sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more


Stille nacht, heilige nacht

Stille nacht, heilige nacht!
Alles schläft, einsam wacht
Nur das traute hoch-heilige paar.
Holder knabe im lockigen haar,
Christ der retter ist da!

Stille nacht, heilige nacht!
Alles schläft, einsam wacht
Nur das traute hoch-heilige paar.
Holder knabe im lockigen haar,
Christ der retter ist da!
Christ der retter ist da!

Silent night, holy night

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

Jesus lord at thy birth
Jesus lord at thy birth

Snow falls over the trees

Snow falls over the trees
Still and calm is the sea
There is a hush o'er the land
Christmas is almost at hand

Peace alone reigns supreme
Like in some wonderous dream
You feel like newborn so grand
Christmas is almost at hand

Leise rieselt der schnee

Leise rieselt der schnee,
Still und starr ruht der see.
Weihnachtlich glänzet der wald.
Freue dich, christkind kommt bald!

Hear ye the message

Hear ye the message that comes from afar
Up in the heavens there shines a new star
It's shining brightly and lights up the night
Leading the way to a wonderful sight
No one is lonely and no one forlorn
'cause in the manger the christ child is born

Hear ye the message it's simple and clear
Time for rejoycing is finally here
Fore with the christ child there comes a new day
Taking your worries and sorrows away
Bury your hatred and bury your grief
Hear ye the message and start to believe

Sweet bells (sßer die glocken nie klingen)

Let's keep the christmas bells ringing, not just one day of the
year
Let's keep the christmas bells ringing, not just one day of the
year


7.Petit Papa Noël

C'est la belle nuit de noël
La neige end son manteau blanc
Et les yeux lev vers le ciel
à genoux, les petits enfants
Avant de fermer les paupies
Font une dernie prie

Petit papa noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublie pas mon petit soulier
Mais avant de partir
Il faudra bien te couvrir
Dehors tu dois avoir si froid
C'est un peu ?cause de moi

Il me tarde tant que le jour se le
Pour voir si tu m'as apport?Tous les beaux joujoux que je vois
en res
Et que je t'ai command

Petit papa noël
When you sail down from the sky
Bringing toys, so shiny and so bright
Please don't pass my little stocking by
Before you leave your home
Wear your bright red coat so warm
Understand it still a winter night
How i'd wait you see my candlelight

Petit papa noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Apportant des jouets, si brillants et si latants
S'il-te-plaît, ne passes pas ?côt?de mon petit bas
Avant de partir de chez-toi
Mets ton manteau rouge vif si chaud
Comprends que c'est une autre nuit d'hiver
J'attendrai tellement que tu vois la lumie de ma chandelle

I can't hardly sleep
Cause my heart is singing
Listening to a new christmas song
I can't wait to see
What the morning's bringing
Oh i can't wait so long

J'ai de la difficult??m'endormir
Parce que mon coeur chante
En outant une nouvelle chanson de noël
Je ne peux attendre pour voir
Ce que le matin apporte
Oh je ne peux attendre si longtemps

Petit papa noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublies pas mon petit soulier
Petit papa noël


8.Zion's Daughter

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the holy boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the christ child, resting for awhile

Now the world is waiting, people want to hear
What in bethlehem had happened, that have brought the saviour
near
Now high hope starts rising for another day
With eternal love and justice finally on the way

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the holy boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the christ child, resting for awhile

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the holy boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the christ child, resting for awhile

That's the way it happened many years ago,
With the sky above the shining in a wonderous stroll

Now the world is waiting, people want to hear
What in bethlehem had happened, that all will say you're near

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the holy boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the christ child, resting for awhile

Zion's daughter...


9.When A Child Is Born

A ray of hope flitters in the sky
A shiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds have changed whisperin the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy fume settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

(spoken)
And all of this happened
Because whe world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace
And everyone to everyone's neighbour
Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever

It's all a dream and illusion now
It must come true, sometimes soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

When a child is born


10.Darkness Is Falling

Verse 1:
When darkness is falling and shadows grow long
It's time for the children to sing this old song
It tells of the coming of wonders untold
Forgotten is winter, its fury and cold,
Hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow
Hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow

Repeat verse 1

When darkness is falling and stars fill the sleigh
The waiting is over and we all know why
It's time for celebrating and having a feast
Because of the tidings that come from the east
Hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow
Hi-ho, hi-ho, we'll soon see the candles glow


11.Oh Christmas Tree

Oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree, of all the trees most
lovely
Oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree, of all the trees most
lovely
Each year you bring to me delight, meaning in the christmas
night
Oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree, of all the trees most
lovely

Oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree, with faithful leaves
unchanging
Oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree, with faithful leaves
unchanging
Your boughs are green in summer's glow and do not fade in
winter's snow
Oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree, with faithful leaves
unchanging

Each year you bring to me delight, meaning in the christmas
night
Oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree, of all the trees most
lovely

Verse 1:
Hark! the herald angels sing,

Jesus, our emmanuel!

Hail! the heav'n-born prince of peace!
Hail! the son of righteousness!

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!

13.The First Noel

Chorus:
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

Verse1:
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
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of israel

(the following 4 verses are not sung on the boney m version)

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.
(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.
(chorus)

Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frakincense.
(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.
(chorus)

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.

Born is the king of israel

For auld lang syne.
