Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum, When we come. Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum, On my drum? Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum Me and my drum.

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining. Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, the night when Christ was born; O night, O Holy Night , O night divine! O night, O Holy Night , O night divine! Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming, Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land. The King of kings lay thus lowly manger; In all our trials born to be our friends. He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger, Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother. And in his name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, With all our hearts we praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we, His power and glory ever more proclaim! His power and glory ever more proclaim!

It’s cold out, so icy, we watch snowflakes start to blow The night before Christmas, I laugh, as you hold me close I imagine we’re on a magic sleigh ride and we’re flyin’ down the snow I’ll try not to slip on the ice, but then you’d have to carry me back home We don’t need anything but each other We both know that we belong together Together, darlin’, this Christmas I know we could melt, all of this With one Christmas kiss It’s peaceful, so cozy, we won’t let this fire go out Sleep tight now, my babies, he’s waiting go to him now Round and round they play like little angels in the snow And I don’t know how my heart survives, continues to grow We don’t need anything but each other We both know that we belong together Together, baby melt this with me I know we could melt, all of this With one Christmas kiss

How can I be jolly when there’s no snow falling How can I be merry when its almost January Didn’t I wait in line to buy these slippers last year? Didn’t I waste my time what am I still doing here? I just want a silent night, I just want one Holy night, I just wanna see the light for once in one December I cannot be jolly when I don’t hear you calling I cannot be merry when you’re nowhere near me Buy the gifts, buy the toys, put up the lights for the good boys Make your lists, buy, buy, buy, don’t get what you want then cry I just want a silent night, I just want one Holy night, I just wanna see the light for once in one December Don’t you want a silent, Don’t you want a holy night Don’t you wanna see the light for once in one December Once there was a Holy night, the angels sang oh what a sight Love was born and gave His life for more than just a December
5.
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 Yule-tide 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 a shining star upon the highest bough. And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.
