SMC ENGLISH COMMUNITY 2023 CHRISTMAS PARTY
Angels We Have Heard On High (4/4)
[1]
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o’er the plains.
And the mountains in reply,
Echoing their joyous strains.
[Refrain]
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
[2]
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong,
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Away In A Manger (3/4)
Away in a manger,
no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the sky
Looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus,
asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby wakes.
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus;
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
3. Christmas Is A Time To Love (4/4)
(Refrain)
Christmas is a time, Christmas is a time,
Christmas is a time to love.
Christmas is a time, Christmas is a time,
Christmas is a time to love. (Repeat all)
[1]
We often start to worry
And people get upset,
If things don’t all go right on Christmas Day.
What we should remember
In all the push and shove
Is Christmas is a time to love.
[2]
Maybe things don’t sound right,
Or look the way they should.
And maybe they’re not perfectly in tune.
It really doesn’t matter
Let’s keep our eyes above
‘Cause Christmas is a time to love.
4. Jingle Bells (4/4)
[Refrain]
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh. (x 2)
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
O’er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight! Oh… (Refrain)
5. Joy To The World 2/4
Joy to the world! The Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And haven and na-ture sing,
And haven and na-ture sing,
And haven, 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.
6. Mary’s Boy Child (4/4)
Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ
was born on Christmas Day
And men will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day.
Long time ago in Bethlehem,
So the Holy Bible says, Mary’s boy child,
Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.
(Chorus)
Hark! Now hear the angels sing
A new King born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say.
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day.
7. O Little Town Of Bethlehem
[1]
O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in the dark streets shineth
The everlasting light.
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in Thee tonight.
[2]
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to all on earth!
8. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
You know Dasher and Dancer and
Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,
but do you recall
the most famous reindeer of all.
Rudolph, the rednosed reindeer (reindeer)
had a very shiny nose, (like a nightbulb)
and if you ever saw it, (saw it)
You would even say it glows. (like a nightbulb)
All of the other reindeer (reindeer)
used to laugh and call him names. (like Pinnochio)
they never let poor Rudolph, (Rudolph)
join in any reindeer games. (like Monopoly)
**
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say, (Ho-ho-ho)
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then how the reindeer loved him (loved him)
as they shouted out with glee. (Heehee)
Rudolph, the rednosed reindeer, (reindeer)
You’ll go down in history! (like Columbus)**
You’ll go down in history!______
9. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (4/4)
(Refrain)
You better watch out, you better not cry,
Better not pout, I’m telling you why:
Santa Claus is comin’ to town.
He’s making a list and checking it twice,
Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice,
Santa Claus is comin’ to town._____
He sees you when you’re sleepin’,
He knows when you’re awake,
He knows if you’ve been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake. Oh! You (Refrain)
(Fine)
Santa Claus is comin’ x2
Santa Claus is comin’ to town. _____
10. 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! (2x)
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight!
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav’nly hosts sing alleluia;
Christ the Savior is born! (2x)
11. When A Child Is Born
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A rosy hue settles all around
You've got to feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two, no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born
And all of this happens because the world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbour
And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten forever
It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon somehow
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
12. Mary Did You Know
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will calm the storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God
Mary, did you know?
The blind will see, the deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you're holding is the great, I Am
13. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
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 pow'r
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
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 pow'r
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
14. The First Noel
The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay,
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
[Refrain]
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the King of 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.
14. We Wish You A Merry Christmas (3/4)
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas.
And a happy New Year. (Repeat)
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin.
We wish you a Merry Christmas.
And a happy New Year.
15. White Christmas
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
16. What Child Is This
1What Child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
Chorus:
This, this is Christ, the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
2 Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.[Chorus]
3 So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king to own Him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.[Chorus]
17. Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad, Prospero Ano y Felicidad.
Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad, Prospero Ano y Felicidad.
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart.
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart.
