Lyrics for Christmas Songs

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
'Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?

A star, a star
Dancing in the night
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?
Ringing thru the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?

A song, a song
High above the tree
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?
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know?

A Child, a Child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Listen to what I say!

The Child, the Child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light;
He will bring us goodness and light

The First Noel
Traditional English carol.
Collected in William Sandys', Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern, 1833

The first Noel, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where 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 Isreal.

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night

And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went

This star drew night to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay

Then did they know as-suredly
Within that house the King did lie
One entered in then for to see,
And found the babe in poverty

Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently upon their knee;
And offered there in his presence,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense:

Between an ox-stall and an ass
This child truly there born he was
For want of clothing they did for him lay
All in a manger, among the hay

Then let us all with one ac-cord
Sing prais-es to our heavenly Lord.
That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with his blood mankind hath bought

If we in our time shall do well,
We shall be free from death and hell;
For God hath prepared for us all
A resting place in general:

Frosty the Snowman
by: Walter "Jack" Rollins and Steve Nelson

Frosty the snowman
Was a jolly, happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the Snow Man
Is a fairy tale, they say;
He was made of snow, but the children know
How he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in
That old silk hat they found,
For when they placed it on his head,
He began to dance around.

Oh, Frosty the snow man
Was alive as he could be,
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me.

Frosty the snow man
Knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away."

Down to the village
With a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there all around the square,
Sayin', "Catch me if you can."

He led them down the streets of town
Right to a traffic cop,
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler "Stop!"

For Frosty the snow man
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved good-bye, sayin', "Don't you cry,
I'll be back again someday."

Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go;
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.

God Rest You Merry Gentlemen
tune: God Rest You Merry, London, 18th century

God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day;
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy!

From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came;
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tiding of the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O 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 power and might."

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy!

Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
this holy tide of Christmas
Doth bring redeeming grace.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy!
