1. Here We Come A Caroling
Here we come a caroling among the leaves so green;
Here we come a’wand’ring, so fair to be seen.

CHORUS:
Love and joy come to you and to you good tidings too.
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year,

Likewise the mistress too;
And all the little children, that around the table go.

CHORUS:

2. Good Christian Men Rejoice!
Good Christian men, rejoice with heart and soul and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say, “News! News!

Ox and Ass before him bow, For he is in the manger now;
Christ is born today! Christ is born today!

Good Christen men rejoice, with heart and soul and voice;
Now ye hear of endless bliss, Joy! Joy! Jesus Christ was born for this!
He has op’ed every door And man is blessed forever more.
Christ was born for this! Christ was born for this!

Good Christen men, rejoice, with heart and soul and voice;

God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas day.
To save us all from Satan’s power when we were gone astray.
Chorus:
O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and Joy, O tidings of Comfort and Joy.

From God our heavenly Father, A blessed angel came.
And unto certain shepherds brought glad tidings of the same.
How that in Bethlehem was born, The Son of God by name.

Chorus:

4. Deck the Halls
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la la la la la!

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

5. Joy to the World
Joy to the world, the lord is come
Let earth receive her King.
Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing.
And heaven and heaven and nature sing.

Joy to the world the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness
And wonders of his love
And wonders of his love
And wonders, wonders of his love.

6. 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,
Heavenly hosts sing, Alleluia,
Christ, the Savior, is born!
Christ, the Savior 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.

7. I Saw Three Ships
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, On Christmas Day;
I saw three ships come sailing in,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

And what was in the those ships all three,
On Christmas Day, On Christmas Day.
And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas Day in the morning?

The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,
On Christmas Day, On Christmas Day;
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

Then let us all rejoice amain,
On Christmas Day, On Christmas Day;
Then let us all rejoice amain,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

8. What Child Is This?
What child is this, who, laid to rest, on Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Why lies He in such mean estate, where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christens fear, for sinners here The silent Word is pleading:
Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through, The Cross be borne, for me, for you:
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh, The Babe, the Son of Mary!

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come peasant, king to own Him.
The King of Kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high, The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary!

9. O Come, All Ye Faithful
O come, All ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye,
To Bethlehem;
Come and behold him, born the King of angels:

Chorus: O Come let us adore him, O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him Christ the Lord!

Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above;
Glory to God
In the highest; Chorus:

Yea Lord we greet thee, Born this happy morning,
Jesus to thee be glory given.
Word of the Father now in flesh appearing:
Chorus:

10. Do You Hear What I Hear?
Said the night wind to the little lamb,
“Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
*A star, a star dancing in the night
With a tail as long as a kite
With a tail as long as a kite.

Said the lamb to the shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear
*A song a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea.
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
Do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know?

*A child, a child shivers in the cold.
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold.
Said the king to the people everywhere,
Listen to what I say.
Pray for peace people everywhere!
Listen to what I say!
*The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light!

11. 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!
Good tidings we bring for you and your kin.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year!

12. Auld Lang Syne
(Note: see link below for history of this song.)
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot in day of auld lang syne
For auld lang syne my dears for auld lang syne
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne
