The Gift

Collin Raye The Gift Lyrics
1.The Christmas Song(Chestnut Roasting On An Open Fire)

Lyrics:Mel Torme/Robert Wells
Music:Mel Torme/Robert Wells

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 reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although its been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you


2.I'll Be Home For Christmas

Lyrics:K.Gannon/W.Kent/B.Ram
Music:K.Gannon/W.Kent/B.Ram

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have some snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
Oh, I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be comin' home
I'll be comin' home
Comin' home

My darling, Christmas eve will find me
Right where the love light gleams
And I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'm comin' home, oh yes
I'll be comin' home
I'll be comin' home
I'll be comin' home

4.The First Noel

Lyrics:Tdaditional
Music:Tdaditional

Noel, Noel
The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keep 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.

So let us all with accord
Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord
That hath made heav'n and earth of naught
And with His blood mankind hath bought.


5.Away In a Manger

Lyrics:1St Verse:N 2Ndverse:John Thomas Mcforlan
Music:Ames R.Murray/William Jk.Kirkpatrick

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

Near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close bye 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.

And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there.
Away in a manger


6.White Christmas

Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin

I dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I 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


7.Winter Wonderland

Lyrics:R.Smith/F.Bernard
Music:R.Smith/F.Bernard

Sleigh bells ring, are ya listin'
In the lane, snow is glistnin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winger wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is possum brown
He'll say, 'Are you married?', we'll say, 'No man!'
But you can do the job when you're in town

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is possum brown
He'll say, 'Are you married?', we'll say, 'No man!'
You can do the job when you're in town

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland


8.Angels We Have Heard On High

Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
Yeah, ooh, oh, ooh oh, yeah

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo

Ooh, no, yeah, yeah
Shepards, why this jubilee
Why your joyous song prolong
What the gladsome tidings be, ohh
That inspire your heavenly, heavenly song, oh

Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo

Oh oh oh, oh yeah
Oh, come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing, oh
Come on adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, our newborn King

Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo
Oh yeah

On the day, that Christ was born
The angels sang such a heavenly song
In excelsis Deo, ohh

Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
In excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo

In excelsis Deo

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

From heaven afar

12.O Holy Night

Lyrics:John S.Dwight
Music:Adolphe Adam

O 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 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,
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born!
O night divine
O night, O night divine!

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,
Oh! Praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
