Carols

1. 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 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.

2. Good King Wenceslas

Good King Wenceslas looked out On the feast of Stephen When the snow lay round about Deep and crisp and even Brightly shone the moon that night Though the frost was cruel When a poor man came in sight Gath'ring winter fuel

"Hither, page, and stand by me If thou know'st it, telling Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?" "Sire, he lives a good league hence Underneath the mountain Right against the forest fence By Saint Agnes' fountain."

"Bring me flesh and bring me wine Bring me pine logs hither Thou and I will see him dine When we bear him thither." Page and monarch forth they went Forth they went together Through the rude wind's wild lament And the bitter weather

"Sire, the night is darker now And the wind blows stronger Fails my heart, I know not how,
I can go no longer."
"Mark my footsteps, my good page Tread thou in them boldly Thou shalt find the winter's rage Freeze thy blood less coldly."

In his master's steps he trod Where the snow lay dinted Heat was in the very sod Which the Saint had printed Therefore, Christian men, be sure Wealth or rank possessing
Ye who now will bless the poor Shall yourselves find blessing.

3. Away in a Manger

Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed, The little Lord Jesus, Laid down His sweet head.

The stars in the bright 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 side, 'Til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay, Close by me forever, And love me I pray.

Bless all the dear children, In Thy tender care, And take us to heaven, To live with Thee there.

4. Once in Royal David’s City

Once in royal David's city, Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her Baby, In a manger for His bed, Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child.

He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall, With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

And through all His wondrous childhood, He would honour and obey, Love and watch the lowly maiden,
In whose gentle arms He lay, Christian children all must be,
Mild, obedient, good as He.

Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him, but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high, Where like stars His children crowned, All in white shall wait around.

5. 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,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

Oh, Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all that hear in heaven God’s holy word, Give to our Father glory in the Highest,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

All Hail! Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning,
O Jesus! for evermore by Thy name adored, Words of the Father, now in flesh appearing, O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

6. Santa Claus Is Coming to Town

You better watch out,
You better not cry, Better not pout,
I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town.

He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice, Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake,
He knows when you've been bad or good, So be good for goodness sake!

You better watch out! You better not cry, Better not pout, I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town.

You better watch out,
You better not cry, Better not pout,
I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town.

He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice, Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake,
He knows when you've been bad or good, So be good for goodness sake!

You better watch out! You better not cry, Better not pout, I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town.

7. Jingle Bells

Oh, 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.

Dashing through the snow, In a one horse open sleigh, O’er the fields we go, Laughing all the way, Bells on bob tails ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to laugh and sing, A sleighing song tonight.

Dashing through the bush,
In a rusty Holden Ute,
Kicking up the dust, esky in my boot, Kelpie by my side, singing Christmas songs, It’s summertime and I am in,
My singlet, shorts and thongs!

8. Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock, Jingle bell swing and jingle bell ring, Snowin’ and blowin’, up bushels of fun, Now the jingle hop has begun.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock, Jingle bell chime in, jingle bell time, Dancin’ and prancin’, in jingle bell square, In the frosty air.

What a bright time,
It's the right time, to rock the night away, Jingle bell time, is a swell time, To go glidin’ in a one horse sleigh.

Giddy-up, jingle horse, pick up your feet, Jingle around the clock, Mix and mingle, in a jinglin’ beat, That's the jingle bell rock.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock, Jingle bell swing and jingle bell ring Snowin’ and blowin’, up bushels of fun, Now the jingle hop has begun.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock, Jingle bell chime in, jingle bell time, Dancin’ and prancin’, in jingle bell square, In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time, To rock the night away, jingle bell time, Is a swell time, to go glidin’,
In a one horse sleigh.

Giddy-up, jingle horse, pick up your feet, Jingle around the clock, Mix and mingle, in a jinglin’ beat, That's the jingle bell rock.

9. Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la la! 'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la la!
Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la la!
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la la! See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la la! Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la la! Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la la! While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la la! Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la la la la la!

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la la! Sing we joyous all together! Fa la la la la la la la la! Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la la!

10. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye merry gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, Remember Christ our Saviour, 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.

Fear not then, said the Angel, Let nothing you affright,
This day is born a Saviour,
Of a pure Virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in Him, From Satan’s pow’r and might, Oh tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy,

Oh tidings of comfort and joy.
