White Christmas
01:01

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

All hail to the days
that merit more praise
than all the rest of the year
And welcome the nights
that double delights
as well for the poor as the peer
Good fortune attend
each merry man's friend
that doth but the best he may
Forgetting old wrongs
with carols and songs
to drive the cold winter away
'Tis ill for a mind
to anger inclined
to think of small injuries now
If wrath be to seek
do not lend her thy cheek
nor let her inhabit thy brow
Cross out of thy books
malevolent looks
both beauty and youth's decay
And wholly consort
with mirth and sport
to drive the cold winter away
This time of the year
is spent in good cheer
and neighbours together do meet
To sit by the fire
with friendly desire
each other in love to greet
Old grudges forgot
are put in the pot
all sorrows aside they lay
The old and the young
doth carol this song
to drive the cold winter away
When Christmas's tide
comes in like a bride
with holly and ivy clad
Twelve days in the year
much mirth and good cheer
in every household is had
The country guise
is then to devise
some gambols of Christmas play
Whereat the young men
do the best that they can
to drive the cold winter away

Carol Of The Bells

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong (x4)
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 their 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!

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 had gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy!
From God that is our Father, the blessed angel came
Unto some certain sheperds with tidings of the same
That he was born in Bethlehem, the Son of God by name
Oh tidings of comfort and joy!
'Fear not,' then said the angel, 'let nothing you affright
This day is born a saviour of virtue, power and might
So frequently to vanquish all the friends of Satan quite'
Oh 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
Oh tidings of comfort and joy!
