Silent night:

Silent Night, Holy Night,
All is calm, 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...

O little town of bethlehem:

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie.
Above they deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.


Yet in the dark streets shineth,
The everlasting light,
The hopes and fears of all...

The Night Before Christmas

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....

Go tell it on the mountain

Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.

While shepherds kept their watching o'er silent flocks at night,
Behold, throughout the heavens...

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus

Christmas toys all over the place,
Little Johnnie wears a smile on his face;
For Johnny has a secret,
And this secret he must share,
He wants to tell somebody,
So he tells his teddy bear.

I saw...

Over the river and through the wood

Over the river and through the wood
To Grandmother's house we go.
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the woods,
Oh, how the wind...

Come, Ye Lofty

Come ye lofty, come ye lowly
Let your songs of gladness ring;
In a stable lies the Holy,
In a manger rests the King:
See in Mary s arms reposing
Christ by highest heaven adored:
Come, your circle round Him closing,...

From Highest Heaven I Come To Tell

From highest heaven I come to tell
The gladdest news that e'er befell;
These tidings true to you I bring,
And gladly of them say and sing.

'To you today is given a Child,
Born of a chosen virgin...

He Smiles Within His Cradle

He smiles within his cradle,
A babe with face to bright
it beams most like a mirror
Against a blaze of light:
This babe so burning bright.

This babe we now declare to you
Is Jesus Christ, our Lord;
He...

O Holy Night

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world...

O Remember Adams fall

Remember, O thou man,
O thou man, O thou man,
Remember O thou man,
Thy time is spent.

Remember, O thou man,
How thou cams't to me then,
And I did what I can,
Therefore repent.

Remember Adam's fall,
O...

When Christ disappears, light goes out.

Whether bad or good, Christ doesn't say why it happens.

The parson christens his own child first.

It is good to be priest at Easter, child in Lent, peasant at Christmas, and foal in harvest-time.

Even if Christ's death could have been prevented, Judas would still be a traitor.
