The twelve songs of christmas
The twelve days of Christmas are a special time of year
with lots of joyous carols in the air.
And now we sing for you a dozen of the best,
twelve Christmas songs you hear everywhere.
Deck the halls with boughs of holy, fa la la la la, la la la la.
‘Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la.
Good King Wenceslas looked out on the feast of Stephen.
When the snow lay round about deep and crisp and even.
One fine day I met upon the way
the three great Kings who were proudly marching.
One fine day I met upon the way
the three great Kings in their fine array.
It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old.
From angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold.
What child is this, who, laid to rest
on Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
while shepherd watch are keeping.
We three kings of Orient are
bearing gifts, we travel a far.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
following yonder star.
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.
There’s star in the East on Christmas morn:
Rise up shepherd and follow.
It will lead to the place where the Savior’s born:
Rise up shepherd and follow.
Go, tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and ev’rywhere.
Go, tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born.
Hark the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.
Joyful all ye nations rise;
join the triumph of the skies.
With angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Joy to the world, the Lord is come.
Let earth receive her King.
Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room.
And heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n and heav'n and nature sing.
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
And He shall reign for ever,
for ever and ever.
King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
And He shall reign for ever and ever.
King of kings and Lord of Lords.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
