Ella Fitzgerald's Christmas

Ella Fitzgerald Ella Fitzgerald's Christmas Lyrics
1.O Holy Night

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear saviour'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 news and glorious morn,

Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices.

O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night divine, O night, O 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 came the wise men from the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend.

He knows our need, He guardeth us from danger;

Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!
Behold you King, before Him lowly bend!

Fall on your knees! etc.

4.Away In The Manger


5.Joy To The World

Joy to world, the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing ( 3x )

Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns;

Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rock, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy (3x )

No more let sin and sorrow grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground.
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found ( 3x )

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nation prove
The glories of His righteouness
And wonder of His love ( 3x )


6.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 from 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.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Born is the King of Israel.

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.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Born is the King of Israel.


7.Silent Night

Lyrics:Joseph Mohr/Franz Gruber
Music:Joseph Mohr/Franz Gruber

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
Glory streams
From heaven afar
Heavenly hosts
Sing alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born


8.O Come, All Ye Faithful

Written:Frederick Oakeley/John Francis Wade

Choir
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and beyond Him
Born the King of Angels

O come let us adore Him, (x3)
Christ the Lord.

God of Gods, Light of Light,
Lo, He abhors not the Virgin womb;
Very God, Begotten not created

O come let us adore Him, etc.

Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all ye citizens of heav above
lory to God in the highest

Choir
O come let us adore Him, etc.

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesu, to Thee be glory given
Word of the father now in flesh appearing.

O come let us adore Him,
O come adore Him, Christ the Lord.


9.Sleep My Little Jord Jesus


10.Angels We Have Heard On


11.O Little Town Of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The ever lasting 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 wandering 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 to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today

We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell

O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord immanuel!
And peace to men on Earth


12.We Three Kings


13.God Rest Ye Merry Gentlem.
