CHRISTMAS IN THE GARDENS 2017 - SONG LIST1. ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

I don’t want a lot for ChristmasThere is just one thing I needI don’t care about the presentsUnderneath the Christmas treeI just want you for my ownMore than you could ever knowMake my wish come true ohAll I want for Christmas is you

I don’t want a lot for ChristmasThere is just one thing I need, and IDon’t care about the presentsUnderneath the Christmas treeI don’t need to hang my stockingThere upon the fireplaceSanta Claus won’t make me happyWith a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my ownMore than you could ever knowMake my wish come trueAll I want for Christmas is you

I won’t ask for much this ChristmasI won’t even wish for snow, and II just wanna keep on waitingUnderneath the mistletoe

I won’t make a list and send itTo the North Pole for Saint NickI won’t even stay awakeTo hear those magic reindeer click

‘Cause I just want you here tonightHolding on to me so tightWhat more can I doOh, Baby all I want for Christmas is you

All the lights are shiningSo brightly everywhereAnd the sound of children’sLaughter fills the air

And everyone is singingI hear those sleigh bells ringingSanta won’t you bring meThe one I really needWon’t you please bring my baby to me quickly

I don’t want a lot for ChristmasThis is all I’m asking forI just wanna see my babyStanding right outside my door

I just want you for my ownMore than you could ever knowMake my wish come trueBaby all I want for Christmas is you

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

2. FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

Oh, frosty yeah, oh frosty yeahFrosty the snowman was a jolly happy soulWith a corncob pipe and a button noseAnd two eyes made out of coalFrosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say

He was made of snow but the children all knowHow he came to life one dayThere must have been some magic in thatOld silk hat they foundFor when they placed it on his headHe began to dance around

Oh Frosty the snowmanWas alive as he could beAnd the kids all say he could laughAnd play just the same as you and me

Frosty oh yeah, yeah, yeah (frosty, frosty the snowman) the snowman yeah yeah yeah

Page 3: song book 2017 - Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens · 1. all i want for christmas 2. frosty the snowman 3. away in a manger 4. rockin around the christmas tree 5. deck the halls 6

He led them down the streets of townRight to the traffic copAnd he only paused a momentWhen heard him hollerStop, stop, stop

Frosty the snow manHad the hurry on his wayBut he waved goodbye sayingDon’t you cryI’ll be back again some day

Thumpetty thump thump (frosty, frosty the snowman)Frosty the snowmanThumpetty thump thump (frosty, frosty the snowman)Frosty the snowmanThumpetty thump thump (frosty, frosty the snowman)Frosty the snowmanThumpetty thump thump (frosty, frosty the snowman)

3. AWAY IN A MANGER

Away in a mangerNo crib for His bedThe little Lord JesusLay down His sweet head

The stars in the skyLook down where He layThe little Lord JesusAsleep on the hay

The cattle are lowingThe poor Baby wakesBut little Lord JesusNo crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord JesusLook down from the sky

And stay by my side‘Til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord JesusI ask Thee to stayClose by me foreverAnd love me, I pray

Bless all the dear childrenIn Thy tender careAnd take us to HeavenTo live with Thee there

4. ROCKIN AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Rockin’ around the Christmas treeAt the Christmas party hop,Mistletoe hung where you can see,Every couple tries to stop,Rockin’ around the Christmas tree,Let the Christmas spirit ring,Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie,And we’ll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,Voices singing, “Let’s be jolly,Deck the halls with boughs of holly”,Rockin’ around the Christmas tree,Have a happy holiday,Everyone dancin’ merrily,In the new old-fashioned way.

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,Voices singing, “Let’s be jolly,Deck the halls with boughs of holly”,Rockin’ around the Christmas tree,Have a happy holiday,Everyone dancin’ merrily,In the new old-fashioned way

CHORUS

Come the afternoonGrandpa has a dozeThe kids and uncle BruceAre swimming in their clothesThe time comes round to goWe take a family snapThen pack the car and all shoot throughBefore the washing up

CHORUS

8. SILVER BELLS

Silver bells, silver bellsIt’s Christmas time in the cityRing-a-ling, (ring-a-ling) hear them ring (ting-a-ling)Soon it will be Christmas dayCity sidewalks, busy sidewalksDressed in holiday styleIn the air there’s a feeling of ChristmasChildren laughing, people passingMeeting smile after smileAnd on every street corner you hearSilver bells, (silver bells) silver bells (silver bells)It’s Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, (ring-a-ling)Hear them ring, (hear them ring)Soon it will be Christmas dayStrings of street lights, even stoplightsBlinkin’ bright red and greenAs the shoppers rush home with their treasuresHear the snow crunch, see the kids bunchThis is Santa’s big dayAnd above all this bustle you hear

9. SIX WHITE BOOMERS

Early on one Christmas Day, a Joey Kanga-roo,Was far from home and lost in a great big zoo.Mummy, where’s my mummy? They’ve taken her a-way.We’ll help you find your mummy, son. Hop up on the sleigh.

Up beside the bag of toys little Joey hopped,But they hadn’t gone far when Santa stopped.Unharnessed all the reindeer and Joey wondered why,Then he heard a far off booming in the sky.

CHORUS:Six white boomers, snow white boomers,Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun.Six white boomers, snow white boomers,On his Australian run.

Pretty soon old Santa began to feel the heat,Took his fur-lined boots off to cool his feet,Into one popped Joey, feeling quite okay,While those old man kangaroos kept pulling on the sleigh.

CHORUS:Six white boomers, snow white boomers,Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun.Six white boomers, snow white boomers,On his Australian run.

Joey said to Santa, Santa, what about the toys?Aren’t you giving some to these girls and boys?They’ve got all their presents, son, we were here last night,This trip is an extra trip, Joey’s special flight.

CHORUS

Soon the sleigh was flashing past, right over Marble Bar,Slow down there, cried Santa, it can’t be far,Come up on my lap here, son, and have a look around.There she is, that’s Mummy, bounding up and down.

CHORUS

Well that’s the bestest Christmas treat that Joey ever had,Curled up in mother’s pouch feeling snug and glad.The last they saw was Santa heading northwards from the sun,The only year the boomers worked a double run.

CHORUS

10. O COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,Oh come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.Come and be hold Him, born the Kings of Angels:

CHORUS:O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation, Sing all ye citizens of heaven above:Glory to God in the highest!

CHORUS

Yes, Lord, we greet Thee, Born this happy morning, Jesus, to Thee be glory given, Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.

CHORUS

11. ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o’er the plains. And the mountains in reply, echoing their joyous strains.

CHORUSGlo-ria in excelsis Deo. Glo-ria in ex-cel-sis De-o.

Shepherds why this jubilee? Why these songs of happy cheer?What great brightness did you see? What glad tidings did you hear?

Page 5: song book 2017 - Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens · 1. all i want for christmas 2. frosty the snowman 3. away in a manger 4. rockin around the christmas tree 5. deck the halls 6

CHORUS

Come to Bethlehem and see, Him whose birth the Angels sing;Come, adore on bended knee, Christ, the Lord, the new-born King.

CHORUS

12. THE FIRST NOEL

The First Noel the angel did say was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;In fields where they lay keeping their sheepOn a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

CHORUS:Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star, Shining in the east, beyond them far:And to the earth it gave great light,And so it continued both day and night.

CHORUS

And by the light of that same starThree wise men came from the country far;And to follow the start wherever it went.

CHORUS

13. ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID’S CITY

Once in royal David’s city, stood a lowly cattle shed,Where a mother laid her Baby, in a manger for his bed:

Mary was that Mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little Child.

He came down to earth from heaven,Who is God and Lord of all, and His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall:With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

For He is our childhood’s pattern; Day by day, like us he grew; He was little, weak, and helpless,Tears and smiles, like us He knew; and He cares when we are sad, And he shares when we are glad.

And our eyes at last shall see Him, through His own redeeming love;For that Child so dear and gentle, is our Lord in heaven above:And He leads His children on, to the place where He is gone.

14. DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?

Said the night wind to the little lamb, “Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky, little lamb,Do you see what I see?

A star, a star, dancing in the night, with a tail as big as a kite, with a tail as big as a kite.”

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,“Do you hear what I hear? Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy, Do you hear what I hear?

A song, a song, high above the tree, with a voice as big as the sea, With a voice as big as the sea.”

Said the shepherd boy to the might king, “Do you know what I know? In your palace warm, mighty king. Do you know what I know?

A Child, a Child, shivers in the cold; let us bring Him silver and gold, Let us bring Him silver and gold.”

Said the King to the people everywhere. “Listen to what I say!Pray for peace, people everywhere,Listen to what I say!

The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night, He will bring us goodness and light, He will bring us goodness and light.”

15. DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH

Ding dong! Merrily on high, in heaven the bells are ringing!Ding dong! Verily the sky, is riv’n with angels singing.

CHORUS:Glor-ia, Ho-san-na in ex-cel-sis!Glor-ia, Ho-san-na in ex-cel-sis!

E’en so here below, below let steeple bells be swungen, And “I-o, i-o, i-o!” by priest and people sungen.

CHORUS

Pray you, dutifully prime your matin chime, ye ringers;May you beautifully rhyme, your eve-time song, ye singers.

CHORUS

16. MARY’S BOY CHILD

Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas DayAnd man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible saidMary’s boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born todayAnd man will live for evermore, because of Christmas DayMary’s boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day

While shepherds watch their flocks by nightThey see a bright new shining starThey hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born todayAnd man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day

For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang outThere were tears of joy and laughter, people shoutedLet everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace

And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlornAnd in a manger cold and dark, Mary’s little boy was born

Page 6: song book 2017 - Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens · 1. all i want for christmas 2. frosty the snowman 3. away in a manger 4. rockin around the christmas tree 5. deck the halls 6

Oh my LordYou sent your son to save usOh my LordYour very self you gave usOh my LordThat sin may not enslave usAnd love may reign once more

Oh my LordWhen in the crib they found himOh my LordA golden halo crowned himOh my LordThey gathered all around himTo see him and adore

Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)They had become to doubt youOh my Lord (he is the truth forever)What did they know about youOh my Lord (so praise the Lord)But they were lost without youThey needed you so bad (his light is shining on us)

Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)With the child’s adorationOh my lord (he is a personation)There came great jubilation

Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)And full of admirationThey realized what they had (until the sun falls from the sky)

Oh my Lord (oh praise the Lord)You sent your son to save usOh my Lord (this day will live forever)Your very self you gave usOh my Lord (so praise the Lord)That sin may not enslave usAnd love may reign once more

17. SILENT NIGHT

Silent night, holy night,all is calm, all is brightround 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!

Silent night, holy night,Son of God, love’s pure light;radiant beams from thy holy facewith the dawn of redeeming grace,Jesus, Lord, at thy birth,Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

26. THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY

Come they told me, pa -rum pum pum pum. A new born King to see, pa-rum pum pum pum. Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum.To lay before the King, pa- rum pump um pum, Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum. So to honour Him, pa rum pump um pum, When we come.

Little Baby, pa rum pump um pum. I am a poor boy too, pa rum pump um pum. I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum. That’s fit to give a King, pa rum pum pum pum, Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum. Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum, When we come.

Mary nodded, pa-rum pum pum pum. The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum. I played my drum for Him, pa- rum pum pum pump um. I played my best for Him, pa -rum pum pum pum, rum – pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum. Then he smiled at me, pa -rum pum pum pum; me and my drum.

27. JOY TO THE WORLD

Joy to the world! The Lord has come: let earth receive her King.Let every heart prepare Him room. And heav’n and nature sing, and heav’n and nature sing,And heav’n and heaven and nature sing.

Joy to the World! The Saviour 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.

He rules the world with true and grace and makes the nations proveThe glories of His righteousness and wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, and wonders, wonders of His love.

28. WHAT CHILD IS THIS

What Child is this, who, laid to rest, on Mary’s lap is sleeping,Whom angels greet with anthems sweet while shepherds watch are keeping.This, this is the Christ, the King, whom shepherds watch and angels sing. Haste, hastes to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why lies he in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding?Good Christians, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, The Cross be borne for me, for you:Hail, hail the Word made Flesh, The Babe, the Son of Mary.

So bring incense, gold, and myrrh; Come, peasant, king, to own him!The King of Kings salvation brings: Let loving hearts enthrone him!Raise, raise the song on high! The Virgin sings her lullaby.Joy! Joy! For Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary.

29. HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Let your heart be light.From now on our troubles will be out of sight.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the yuletide gay.From now on, our troubles will be miles away.

Once again as in olden days, happy golden days of yore,Faithful friends who are dear to us, gather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be together, if the fates allow. Hang a shining star upon the highest bough,And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

30. 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, Til he appeared and the soul felt his worth.A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees! Oh hear, the angel voices!O night! O night divine, the night when Christ was born;O night divine, O night O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, with glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. Led by the light of a star sweetly gleaming, Here came the wise men from the Orient land.The king of kings lay thus in lowly manger;In all our trials born to be our friend.

He knows our need, to our weakness no stranger. Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace.Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brotherAnd in His name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, With all our hearts we praise his holy name.

Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we, His power and glory every more proclaim!His power and glory ever more proclaim!
