O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
Shall ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the son of God appears
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall ransom captive Israel

Christmas future is far away
Christmas past is past
Christmas present is here today
Bringing joy that will last
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles
Will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles
Will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang your shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang your shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Carol of The Bells
ALBUM · Christmas Portrait (1978)
hark silver bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, throw cares away.
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song,
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
O, how they pound, raising the sound
O’er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, christmas is here!
ding, merry, merry, merry christmas!
ding, merry, merry, merry christmas!
On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Hark! how the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, throw cares away.
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling.
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
O, how they pound, raising the sound
O’er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, christmas is here!
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas!
On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home.
Ding dong ding dong

Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
"Merry Christmas, may your New Year dreams come true"
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
"Merry Christmas, may your New Year dreams come true"
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring-ting-tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling yoo-hoo
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup, let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup, it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're riding along with a song in a wintery fairyland
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy, cosy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather should be
Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
There's a Christmas party at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
By the fireplace as we watch the chestnuts pop
Pop, pop, pop
There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
As we pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things we'll remember all our lives
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring-ting-tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

It's Christmas time and time for a carol
Time to sing about the little King
To fill the bowl and roll out the barrel
Have ourselves a fling
We greet a friend or welcome a stranger
Let him sing on, cheer him on his way
And celebrate the child in the manger
Born on Christmas day
Good cheer for you and for me
With pleasure and glee to share
Oh we're so happy to be together
On yuletide square
It looks like snow
And it falls like snow
Take a moment
Take a look about and say
As snowflakes fall
Merry Christmas to one and all
It's Christmas time and time for a carol
Time to sing about the little King
To fill the bowl and roll out the barrel
Have ourselves a fling
We greet a friend or welcome a stranger
Let him sing on, cheer him on his way
And celebrate the child in the manger
Born on Christmas day
Good cheer for you and for me
With pleasure and glee to share
Oh we're so happy to be
Together on yuletide square
It looks like snow
And it falls like snow
Take a moment
Take a look about and say
As snowflakes fall
Merry Christmas to one and all
. . .

So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice
Going to find out
Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
. . .

All through the year we've waited
Waited through spring and fall
To hear silver bells ringing
See wintertime bringing
The happiest season of all
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
Will 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 going to 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 it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
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 going to 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 it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
. . .

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
Shepherd quake at the sight
Glorious dream from heaven afar
Heavenly 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

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells in bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Oh the first snowfall of the winter
Was a day that we all waited for
When it drifted to and fro
Why you should've seen the snow
It was near seven feet or more
By the old barn door
Oh the first snowfall of the winter
What a joy for a boy to behold
In each house you'll find a sleigh
That was waiting for this day
And of course down the road a hill
For each Jack and Jill
Every winter breeze that scurries
Sets the snowflakes up in flurries
It's the good old sentimental season when
Folks put runners on their surreys
And forget about their worries
When a man becomes a boy once again
Oh the first snowfall of the winter
Jingle bells bring us spells ever dear
Under wintry skies of grey
It was snowing all the day
And it showed no signs of stopping
Every kid with eyes of popping
Will soon be belly whopping on his ear
On the first snowfall of the winter
Oh that first snowfall of the year
The first snow of the year
Is just about the best snow
Well, I'll say any snow
Is a pretty good show

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make
A special one for you
Merry Christmas, darling
We're apart, that's true
But I can dream and in my dreams
I'm Christmasing with you
Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day is a holiday
When I'm near to you
The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day
The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you merry Christmas
Happy New Year too
I've just one wish on this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you merry Christmas
Happy New Year too
I've just one wish on this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you
Merry Christmas, darling

I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only, only in my dreams

It is he, Christ who is born today
Hear him crying in the manger
King of heaven, son of god
Alleluia, alleluia
There he lies, there with the lambkin
Only swaddle for his garment
With his holy mother Mary
Alleluia, alleluia
Glory, glory to almighty god
And on earth peace to all men
Hear the joyful angels singing
Alleluia, alleluia
He is born, let us adore him
Christ the lord, king of Kings
Prince of peace, for all the universe
Alleluia, alleluia
. . .

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
He songs a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you married? We'll say no, man
But you can do the job while you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
. . .
