Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other Reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any Reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight
Then how all the Reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer
You’ll go down in history
Repeat all
While Shepherds Watched Their
Flocks by Night
While shepherds watched their flocks by night, all seated on the ground, the angel of the lord came down and glory shone around.
‘Fear not’, said he for mighty dread had seized their troubled mind – ‘Glad tidings of great joy I bring to you and all mankind’.
‘To you in David’s town this day is born of David’s line a Saviour, who
is Christ the Lord. And this shall be the sign’.
‘The heavenly babe you there shall find to human view displayed, all meanly wrapped in swathing bands and in a manger laid’.
Thus spoke the seraph, and
forthwith appeared a shining
throng of angels praising God, who thus addressed their joyful song.
‘All glory be to God on high, and to the earth be peace, goodwill henceforth from highest heaven begin and never cease!
Silent Night
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.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heav’nly hosts sing, Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born!
Christ, the Saviour is born!
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
We Wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
And a happy New Year!
Chorus:
Good tidings we bring,
To you and your kin;
We wish you a merry Christmas,
And a happy New Year!
We all want some figgy pudding,
We all want some figgy pudding,
We all want some figgy pudding,
So bring some out here!
Chorus
We won’t go until we’ve got some,
We won’t go until we’ve got some,
We won’t go until we’ve got some,
So bring some out here!
