Mary’s Boy Child
----------------
A long time ago in Bethlehem so the Holy Bible says,
Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.
Chorus
Hark now hear the angels sing, “A new king born today”
And man will live forever more because of Christmas Day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say ….
That man will live for ever more because of Christmas Day.
While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
They see a bright new shining star.
They hear a choir sing a song, the music seems to come from afar.
Now Joseph and his wife Mary come to Bethlehem that night.
They find no place to lay the child, not a single room in sight.
CHORUS
By and by they find a little nook in a stable so forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark Mary’s little boy was born.
CHORUS
How Can This Be?
How can this be?
Why have you chosen me?
How can this be?
Why have you chosen me?
Lord I will do all that you ask me to.
May all your words and promises come true.
Praise be to God
Holy is His name.
This servant girl
Will never be the same.
Lord we will do
All that you ask us to.
May all your words and promises come true.
Little Donkey
Little donkey, little donkey, on the dusty road,
Got to keep on plodding onwards, with your precious load.
Been a long time, little donkey, through the winter’s night,
Don’t give up now, little donkey, Bethlehem’s in sight.
Chorus:
Ring out those bells tonight, Bethlehem, Bethlehem.
Follow that star tonight, Bethlehem, Bethlehem.
Little donkey, little donkey, had a heavy day,
Little donkey carry Mary safely on her way.
Little donkey, little donkey journey’s end is near.
There are wise men waiting for a sign to bring them here.
Do not falter, little donkey, there’s a star ahead,
It will guide you, little donkey, to a cattle shed. Chorus
Tar a Dúirt Siad Liom
Tar a dúirt siad liom, pa rum pa pum pum.
Go bhfeicfear Rí an Domhain, pa rum pa pum pum.
Buail feirín deas again, pa rum pa pum pum.
Le cur os comhair an Rí pa rum pa pum pum,
Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum.
Moladh go deo leis, pa rum pa pum pum,
Rum pa pum pum.
Féach ar Íosagáin, pa rum pa pum pum.
Ina luí sa chliabháin, pa rum pa pum pum.
Muire is Seosamh ann, pa rum pa pum pum.
Déin Íosa gáire liom, pa rum pa pum pum,
Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum.
Moladh go deo leis, pa rum pa pum pum,
Rum pa pum pum.

We Have Travelled
Where will they find a place for the night?
Somewhere to rest ‘til dark turns to light.
They are three wise men, they have now come,
Looking for God’s own son.
We have travelled very far
We have followed the guiding star.
We have treasure to present,
Gold and Myrrh and Frankincense
When we find Him we will bring
Our precious gifts to the baby king
Of Gold and Myrrh and Frankincense
Gold and Myrrh and Frankincense.

Away in a Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a 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 baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love thee Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,
And stay by my bedside ‘till 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.

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!
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé,
Cách na suan, dís araon,
Dís is dílse faire le spéir,
Naíon beag gnaoighgheal ceannantais caomh,
Críost ‘na chodladh go séimh,
Críost ‘na chodladh go séimh.
CHRISTMAS MEDLEY

Jingle Bells
============
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.
When Santa Got Stuck Up the Chimney
When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
He began to shout,
“You girls and boys won’t get any toys,
If you don’t pull me out.
My beard is black,
There’s soot in my sack
My nose is tickling too”.
When Santa got stuck up the chimney,
A-choo! A-choo! A-choo!
Winter Wonderland
=================
Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin’?
In the lane, snow is glistenin’,
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Frosty the Snowman
==================
Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul.
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale they say.
He was made of snow,
But the children know
How he came to life one day
All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front teeth
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
Yes my two front teeth.
You see if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Claus
===============================
I saw mummy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn’t see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was locked up
In my bedroom fast asleep.
I saw mummy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh what a laugh it would have been
If daddy had only seen
Mummy kissing Santa Claus last night
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
=============================
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring,
For you and your kin,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year.
