Tennessee Christmas
- Amy Grant & Gary Chapman
Come on, weather man,
give us a forecast snowy white
Can't you hear the prayers
of every childlike heart tonight
Rockies are calling, Denver snow falling
Somebody said it's four feet deep
But it doesn't matter, give me the laughter
I'm gonna choose to keep.
Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well, I know there's more snow up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
is the only Christmas for me.
Every now and then I get a wandering urge to see
Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town's for me
There's a parade there, we'd have it made there
Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve
Sure sounds inviting, awfully exciting
Still I think I'm gonna keep.
Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well, they say in L.A. it's a warm holiday
It's the only place to be
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
is the only Christmas for me.
The Night Before Christmas
- Henry Livingston
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now! Dasher, now! Dancer, now! Prancer, and Vixen!
On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Dunder and Blixem!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

Time for toys and time for cheer

Please Christmas, don't be late.

The Christmas Waltz
- Author Unknown
Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the the tree
Santa's on his way,
He's filled his sleigh
With things, things for you and for me
It's the time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear
Seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
Merry Christmas to you
The Grinch Song
- Author Unknown
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch,
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!
You're a monster, Mr. Grinch,
Your heart's an empty hole,
Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch,
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
You have termites in your smile,
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch,
Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile!
You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch,
You're the king of sinful sots,
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch,
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch,
With a nauseous super "naus"!,
You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch,
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful
assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots!
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
You're a nasty wasty skunk,
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch,
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote,
"Stink, stank, stunk"!
The Wise May Bring Their Learning
- John T. Burke & Robert Schumann
The wise may bring their learning,
The rich may bring their wealth,
And some may bring their brilliance,
And some bring strength and health,
We too would bring our treasures,
To offer to the King.
We have no gifts deserving,
What shall we children bring.
We'll bring Him hearts that love Him,
We'll bring Him thankful praise,
And young souls humbly striving,
To walk in holy ways,
And these shall be our treasures,
We offer to the King,
And these are gifts that even,
The youngest child may bring.
We'll come and show the Savior,
The things we do each day,
We'll try to please Him,
At home at school or play,
And better these treasures,
To offer to our King,
Than richest gifts without them,
Yet these a child may bring.
There Came Three Sages From Afar
- Author Unknown, Score - Louis J. Garrett
There came three Sages from afar,
On worship bent, led by a star,
To Bethlehem where shepherds are,
Here ye now the story.
Noel, Noel let us sing
Unto Christ our heav'nly King,
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Noel let us sing
Unto Christ our heav'nly King,
Our heav'nly King.
A Babe they found in manger laid,
To Him their homage then they paid;
This Babe was Christ, by Whom we're made
Heirs of heav'n and glory.
Noel, Noel let us sing
Unto Christ our heav'nly King,
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Noel let us sing
Unto Christ our heav'nly King,
Our heav'nly King.
Their gifts, myrrh, frankincense and gold,
And these were seeming, as threefold
They Prophet, Priest, and King foretold;
Angels sing His glory.
Noel, Noel let us sing
Unto Christ our heav'nly King,
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Noel let us sing
Unto Christ our heav'nly King,
Our heav'nly King.
And this the message of the King --
"On earth goodwill and peace I bring"'
With praises let the whole world ring
And reflect His glory.
Noel, Noel let us sing
Unto Christ our heav'nly King,
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Noel let us sing
Unto Christ our heav'nly King,
Our heav'nly King.
