It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (12/7)

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

It came upon a midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harp of gold

Peace on earth, good will to men
From heaven’s all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
O’er all the weary world

Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
And ever o’er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing

For lo! The days are hastening on
By prophet barbs foretold
When with the ever circling years
Comes round the age of gold

When peace shall overall the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Do You Hear What I Hear? (12/6)

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb,
“Do you see what I see?” (Do you see what I see?)
Way up in the sky little lamb
“Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?)
A star, a star, dances in the sky with a tail as big as a kite, with a tail as big as a kite.

Said the little lamb to the Shepherd boy,
“Do you hear what I hear?” (“Do you hear what I hear?”)
Way up in the sky, shepherd boy
“Do you hear what I hear?” (“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? (Do you know what I know?”)
In your palace warm mighty king
“Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?”)
A child, a child, shivers in the night, let us bring him silver and gold, let us bring him silver and gold.

Said the King to his people everywhere
Listen to what I say (Listen to what I say)
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Listen to what I say (Listen to what I say)
A child, a child, sleeping in the night. He will bring us goodness and light, he will bring us goodness and light.

White Christmas

(The Incomparable Bing Crosby – from Holiday Inn)

Bing Crosby – White Christmas by beautifulcynic

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
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

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

Adeste Fideles (O Come All Ye Faithful)

Luciano Pavarotti and Trisha Yearwood

In Latin:

Adeste Fideles
Laeti triumphantes
Venite, venite in Bethlehem
Natum videte
Regem angelorum
Venite adoremus
Dominum
Cantet nunc io

Chorus angelorum
Cantet nunc aula caelestium
Gloria, gloria
In excelsis Deo
Venite adoremus
Dominum
Ergo qui natus
Die hodierna
Jesu, tibi sit gloria
Patris aeterni
Verbum caro factus
Venite adoremus
Dominum

I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing In

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 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.
