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:
</div><div class=stanza>
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
</div><div class=stanza>
Shepherds, in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light:
</div><div class=stanza>
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
</div><div class=stanza>
Sages, leave your contemplations
Brighter visions beam afar,
Seek the great Desire of nations,
Ye have seen his natal star:
</div><div class=stanza>
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
</div><div class=stanza>
Though an infant now we view him,
He shall fill his Father's throne,
Gather all the nations to him,
Every knee shall then bow down:
</div><div class=stanza>
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
</div><div class=stanza>
All creation, join in praising
God the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising,
To eternal Three in One:
</div><div class=stanza>
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains

Echoing their joyous strains
</div><div class=stanza>
CHORUS:
</div><div class="stanza indented">
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
</div><div class=stanza>
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song? <i>Chorus</i>
</div><div class=stanza>
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King. <i>Chorus</i>
</div><div class=stanza>
See Him in a manger laid
Jesus Lord of heaven and earth;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
With us sing our Savior's birth. <i>Chorus</i>

<div class=stanza>
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 praise
The babe, the son of Mary!
</div><div class=stanza>
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
Come, have no fear; God's son is here,
Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
The Cross be borne for me, for you;
Hail, hail, the Saviour comes,
The babe, the son of Mary!

Let loving hearts enthrone Him!

Joy! joy! for Christ is born,
The babe, the son of Mary!

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!

<div class=stanza>
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
</div><div class=stanza>
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
</div><div class=stanza>
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
</div><div class=stanza>
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.
</div><div class=stanza>
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
</div><div class=stanza>
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.
</div><div class=stanza>
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

<div class=stanza>
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
</div><div class=stanza>
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.
</div><div class=stanza>
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 going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
</div><div class=stanza>
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you
</div> </div> </div> <div class=song> <h1>Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas</h1> <div class=lyrics>
<div class=stanza>
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
</div><div class=stanza>
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.
</div><div class=stanza>
Here we are as in olden days,
