A Christmas Festival by Leroy Anderson

Sing Along Lyrics

Joy To The World

Joy to the world, the Lord is come.
Let earth receive her King.
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and heaven and nature sing

Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns.
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

Deck The Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
‘Tis the season to be jolly.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

See the blazing Yule before us.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas day,
To save us all from Satan’s power, when we were gone astray;
Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
Oh 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,
O tidings of comfort and joy

Good King Wenceslas

Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the feat of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even.
Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel.

“Hither, page, and stand by me, if thou know’st it, telling,
Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?”
“Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain;
Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes’s fountain".”

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Hark the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new born 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.”
Hark the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new born King.”

Christ, by highest heaven adored; Christ the everlasting Lord.
Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of the favored one.
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see, hail the incarnate Deity.
Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King”

Silent Night

Silent night, Holy night, all is come, all is bright,
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child, Holy Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar. Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born! Christ the Savior is born.

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Oh Come All Ye Faithful

Oh come all ye faithful, joyful and trumphant
Oh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him, born the King of angels,
Oh come and let us adore Him, Oh come let us adore Him,
Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
