All I Want for Christmas Is You
- Mariah Carey & Walter Afanasieff
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas
Is you...
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You baby
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You...
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need -
won't you please bring my baby to me...
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You...
All I want for Christmas is you baby...
(repeat)
All My Heart This Night Rejoices
- John G. Ebeling, Paul Gerhardt, Catherine Winkworth
All my heart this night rejoices,
As I hear far an near,
Sweet angel voices,
Christ is born their choirs are singing,
Till the air ev'rywhere,
Now with joy is ringing.
Forth today the conqu'ror goeth,
Who the foe sin and woe,
Death and hell o'erthroweth,
God is man man to deliver,
His dear Son now is one,
With our blood forever.
Shall we still dread God's displeasure,
Who to save freely gave,
His most cherished treasure,
To redeem us He hath given,
His own Son from the throne,
Of His might in Heaven.
He becomes the Lamb that taketh,
Sin away and for aye,
Full atonement maketh,
For our life His own He tenders,
And our race by His grace,
Meet for glory renders.
Hark a voice from yonder manger,
Soft and sweet doth entreat,
Flee from woe and danger,
Brethren from all ills that grieve you,
You are freed all you need,
I will surely give you.
Come then banish all your sadness,
One and all great and small,
Come with songs of gladness,
Love Him who with love is glowing,
Hail the star near and far,
Light and joy bestowing.
Dearest Lord Thee will I cherish,
Though my breath fail in death,
Yet I shall not perish,
But with Thee abide forever,
There on high in that joy,
Which can vanish never.
Angels from the Realms of Glory
- Henry Smart & James Montgomery
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:
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King!
Shepherds, in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant Light;
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King!
Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great desire of nations,
Ye have seen His natal star;
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King!
Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear:
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King!
As Lately We Watched
- John Jacob Niles
As lately we watched O'er our fields through the night,
A star there was seen of such glorious light.
All through the night angels did sing,
In carols so sweet of the birth of a King.
His throne is a manger, His court is a loft,
But troops of bright angels in lays sweet and soft,
Him they proclaim, our Christ by name,
And earth, sky, and air straight are filled with His fame.
Then shepherds be joyful, salute your new King;
Let hills and dales ring to the song that ye sing.
Blessed be the hour, welcome the morn,
For Christ our dear Saviour on earth now is born.
As with Gladness Men of Old
- William C. Dix
As with gladness, men of old
Did the guiding star behold
As with joy they hailed its light
Leading onward, beaming bright
So, most glorious Lord, may we
Evermore be led to Thee.
As with joyful steps they sped
To that lowly manger bed
There to bend the knee before
Him Whom Heaven and earth adore;
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek Thy mercy seat.
As they offered gifts most rare
At that manger rude and bare;
So may we with holy joy,
Pure and free from sin’s alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King.
Holy Jesus, every day
Keep us in the narrow way;
And, when earthly things are past,
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
Where no clouds Thy glory hide.
In the heavenly country bright,
Need they no created light;
Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown,
Thou its Sun which goes not down;
There forever may we sing
Alleluias to our King!
Ave Maria
- Franz Shubert
Ave Maria
Gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tuae, Jesus.
Ave Maria
Ave Maria
Mater Dei
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Ora pro nobis
Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora mortis
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Ave Maria
Away in a Manger
- William J. Kirkpatrick
Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there
