Sleep my child and peace attend thee
All through the night
Guardian angels god had sent thee
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping
God his loving vigil keeping
All through the night
While the moon her watch is keeping
All through the night
While the weary world is sleeping
All through the night
Through your dreams you're swiftly stealing
Visions of delight revealing
Christmas night is so appealing
All through the night
You are part of wave of wonder
All through the night
Dreams you dreamed half raised from thunder
All through the night
Children's dreams cannot be broken
Life is but a lovely token
Christmas should be softly spoken
All through the night

God rest you merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
For Jesus Christ our Saviour was born upon this day
To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Tidings of comfort and joy
From God our heavenly Father a blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Tidings of comfort and joy
The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway this blessed Babe to find
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Tidings of comfort and joy
But when to Bethlehem they came whereat this Infant lay
They found Him in a manger where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeling unto the Lord did pray
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
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 all other doth deface
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Tidings of comfort and joy

You know Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the red-nose reindeer,
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer,
Used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph,
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the other reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
You'll go down in history
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the other reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
You'll go down in history
You know Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen.

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

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up from head to toe
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you
