My favorite Christmas Carol lyrics
Carol of the Bells
Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw cares away Christmas is here, bringing good cheer, to young and old, meek and the bold, Ding dong ding dong that is their song with joyful ring all caroling One seems to hear words of good cheer from everywhere filling the air Oh how they pound, raising the sound, o'er hill and dale, telling their tale, Gaily they ring while people sing songs of good cheer, Christmas is here, Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, On on they send, on without end, their joyful tone to every home Dong Ding dong ding... dong! Bong! The Holly and the Ivy The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown. O the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a blossom As white as lily flower; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To be our sweet Savior. The holly bears a berry As red as any blood; Any Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To do poor sinners good. The holly bears a prickle As sharp as any thorn; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ On Christmas day in the morn. The holly bears a bark As bitter as any gall; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ For to redeem us all. The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown. O Come, O Come, Emmanuel O Come, O Come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appears Chorus Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel O come, thou rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan's tyranny From depths of of hell thy people save And give them vict'ry o'er the grave Chorus Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel O come, O Dayspring, come and cheer Our spirits by thine advent here And drive away the shaves of night And pierce the clouds and bring us light Chorus Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel O come, Thou Key of David, come And open wide our heavenly home Make safe the way that leads on high And close the path to misery Chorus Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel O come, O come, Thou Lord of might Who to thy tribes, on Sinai's height In ancient times did'st give the law In cloud and majesty and awe Chorus Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel 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 through the sky, shepherd boy, do you hear what I hear A song, a song, high above the trees 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 Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas 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 On the highest bough, And have yourself A merry little Christmas now Hark! the Herald Angels Sing Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King, peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconcile. Joyful, all ye nations, rise, join the triumph of the skies; with the angelic host proclaim, 'Christ is born in Bethlehem' Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King. Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, late in time behold him come, offspring of a virgin's womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; hail, the incarnate deity, pleased as Man with to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel! Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King. Hail, the heaven-born Prince of peace! Hail the Sun of righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, risen with healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by, born that man no more may die, born to raise the suns of earth, born to give them second birth. Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King. Angels We Have Heard On High Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o'er the plains And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains. Gloria... Chorus: Gloria, In Excelsius Deo Shepherd why this jubilee, Why your joyous strains prolong What the gladsome tidings be, Which inspire your heavenly song?

Mild he lays his glory by,
born that man no more may die, born to raise the suns of earth, born to give them second birth. Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King.
