Angels, From the Realms of Glory

Angels, from the realms of glory,

Wing your flight o'er all the earth;

Ye, who sang creation's story,

Now proclaim Messiah's birth:

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the new-born King.

Shepherds in the field abiding,

Watching o'er your flocks by night,

God with man is now residing;

Yonder shines the infant Light: Refrain

Sages, leave your contemplations,

Brighter visions beam afar:

Seek the great Desire of nations;

Ye have seen his natal star: Refrain

Saints before the altar bending,

Watching long in hope and fear,

Suddenly the Lord, descending,

In his temple shall appear: Refrain

Christmas To Remember

You've made this a Christmas to remember

Springtime feelin's in the middle of December

Strangers meet and they willingly surrender

Oh! What a Christmas to remember

Almost went to Aspen but something told me no

I considered Mammoth but there wasn't enough snow

And I even thought of Gatlinburg but that seemed so far to go

So I headed up to Tahoe for a Christmas on the slopes

And I had fantasized about Christmas in this way

Curled up by a fireplace in a Tahoe ski chalet

With a fast talking lover and some slow burning wood

But even in my wildest dreams it never got this good and

You've made this a Christmas to remember

Springtime feelin's in the middle of December

Change the radio and I'll turn the lights down dimmer

Oh! What a Christmas to remember

Strangers when we met, lovers as we leave

Christmas to remember, too good to believe

Don't know how or when, but I know we'll meet again

We'll come blowin' back to somewhere like some wild restless winter's wind

And you've made this a Christmas to remember

Springtime feelin's in the middle of December

Neath the mistletoe you kissed me warm and tender

Oh! What a Christmas to remember

We loved and laughed and played and joked

Sang Christmas songs and talked to folks

Sleighed the fields and skied the slopes

Then to the lodge for dinner

But now it's time for us to go

As our hearts melt like chimney snow

There's just one thing I want to know

Can we do this next winter

Oh! What a Christmas to remember

You've made this a Christmas to remember

Springtime feelin's in the middle of December

Though the fire is hot, we'll just have to let it simmer

Oh! What a Christmas to remember

You've made this a Christmas to remember

Springtime feelin's in the middle of December

Though it's cold outside we'll just stroke the burning embers

Oh! What a Christmas to remember.

Caroling, Caroling

Caroling, caroling, now we go

Christmas bells are ringing

Caroling, caroling thru the snow

Christmas bells are ringing

Joyous voices sweet and clear

Sing the sad of heart to cheer

Ding dong, ding dong

Gladsome tidings now we bring

Ding dong, ding dong

Christmas bells are ringing!

Caroling, caroling, near and far

Christmas bells are ringing

Following, following yonder star

Christmas bells are ringing

Sing we all this happy morn

"Lo, the King of heav'n is born!"

Ding dong, ding dong

Christmas bells are ringing

What Child Is This?

What child is this, who, laid to rest,

On Mary's lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,

While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

Haste, haste to bring him laud,

The babe, the son of Mary.

Why lies he in such mean estate

Where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christian, fear: for sinners here

The silent Word is pleading.

So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,

Come, peasant, king, to own him.

the King of kings salvation brings,

Let loving hearts enthrone him.

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

It came upon the midnight clear,

That glorious song of old,

From angels bending near the earth

To touch their harps of gold:

"Peace on the earth, good will to men,

From heaven's all-gracious King."

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come

With peaceful wings unfurled,

And still their heavenly music floats

O'er all the weary world;

Above its sad and lowly plains

They bend on hovering wing,

And ever o'er its Babel-sounds

The blessed angels sing.

Yet with the woes of sin and strife

The world has suffered long;

Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled

Two thousand years of wrong;

And man, at war with man, hears not

The tidings which they bring;

O hush the noise, ye men of strife,

And hear the angels sing!

O ye, beneath life's crushing load,

Whose forms are bending low,

Who toil along the climbing way

With painful steps and slow,

Look now! for glad and golden hours

Come swiftly on the wing;

O rest beside the weary road

And hear the angels sing!

For lo! the days are hastening on,

By prophets seen of old,

When with the ever-circling years

Shall come the time foretold,

When peace shall over all the earth

Its ancient splendors fling,

And the whole world give back the song

Which now the angels sing.

All My Heart This Night Rejoices

All my heart this night rejoices

As I hear Far and near

Sweetest angel voices.

"Christ is born," their choirs are singing

Till the air Everywhere

Now with joy is ringing.

Forth today the Conqueror goeth,

Who the foe, Sin and woe,

Death and hell, o'erthroweth.

God is man, man to deliver;

His dear Son Now is one

With our blood forever.

Shall we still dread God's displeasure,

Who, to save, Freely gave

His most cherished Treasure?

To redeem us, He hath given

His own Son From the throne

Of His might in heaven.

Should He who Himself imparted

Aught withhold From the fold,

Leave us broken-hearted?

Should the Son of God not love us,

Who, to cheer Sufferers here,

Left His throne above us?

If our blessed Lord and Maker

Hated men, Would He then

Be of flesh partaker?

If He in our woe delighted,

Would He bear All the care

Of our race benighted?

He becomes the Lamb that taketh

Sin away And for aye

Full atonement maketh.

For our life His own He tenders

And our race, By His grace,

Meet for glory renders.

Hark! a voice from yonder manger,

Soft and sweet, Doth entreat:

"Flee from woe and danger.

Brethren, from all ills that grieve you

You are feed; All you need

I will surely give you."

Come, then, banish all your sadness,

One and all, Great and small;

Come with songs of gladness.

Love Him who with love is glowing;

Hail the Star, Near and far

Light and joy bestowing.

Ye whose anguish knew no measure,

Weep no more; See the door

To celestial pleasure.

Cling to Him, for He will guide you

Where no cross, Pain, or loss

Can again betide you.

Hither come, ye heavy-hearted,

Who for sin, Deep within,

Long and sore have smarted;

For the poisoned wound you're feeling

Help is near, One is here

Mighty for their healing.

Hither come, ye poor and wretched;

Know His will Is to fill

Every hand outstretched.

Here are riches without measure;

Here forget All regret,

Fill your hearts with treasure.

Let me in my arms receive Thee;

On Thy breast Let me rest,

Savior, ne'er to leave Thee.

Since Thou hast Thyself presented

Now to me, I shall be

Evermore contented.

Guilt no longer can distress me;

Son of God, Thou my load

Bearest to release me.

Stain in me Thou findest never;

I am clean, All my sin

Is removed forever.

I am pure, in Thee believing,

From Thy store Evermore

Righteous robes receiving

In my heart I will enfold Thee,

Treasure rare, Let me there,

Loving, ever hold Thee.

Dearest Lord, Thee will I cherish.

Though my breath Fail in death,

Yet I shall not perish,

But with Thee abide forever

There on high, In that joy

Which can vanish never.

This Christmas I'll be home with bells on

I've traveled around this country crossed the waters deep and wide

Made lots of friends and memories brought joy to others lives

It's Christmas time again another year has come and gone

And I can't keep from wonderin' how the old folks are at home

I'll be home with bells on

I'll be home with bells on

Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the Christmas music on

This Christmas I'll be home with bells on

When the snow is on the meadow and the sleigh bells jingle bright

And the kids are singing jingle bells around the Christmas lights

As daddy stokes the fire and mama puts the turkey on

There ain't nothing going to slow me down this Christmas I'll be home

I'll be home with bells on

I'll be home with bells on

Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the Christmas music on

This Christmas I'll be home with bells on

C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S

When I was but a youngster,

Christmas meant one thing,

That I'd be getting lots of toys that day.

I learned a whole lot different,

When my Mother sat me down,

And taught me to spell Christmas this way:

"C" is for the Christ child, born upon this day,

"H" for herald angels in the night,

"R" means our Redeemer,

"I" means Israel,

"S" is for the star that shone so bright,

"T" is for three wise men, they who traveled far,

"M" is for the manger where he lay,

"A"'s for all He stands for,

"S" means shepherds came,

And that's why there's a Christmas day,

And that's why there's a Christmas day.
