joy,Comfort and joyO tidings of comfort and joy
“Fear not then,” said theAngel,
“Let nothing you affright,This day is born a SaviourOf a pure Virgin bright,To free all those who trust
in HimFrom Satan’s power and
might.”O tidings of comfort and
joy,Comfort and joyO tidings of comfort and joy

Rejoiced much in mind,And left their fl ocks
a-feedingIn tempest, storm and wind:And went to Bethlehem
straightwayThe Son of God to fi nd.O tidings of comfort and
joy,Comfort and joyO tidings of comfort and joy
And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Saviour lay,They found Him in a

Jingle BellsB
Dashing through the snowOn a one-horse open sleigh,Over the fi elds we go,Laughing all the way;Bells on bob-tail ring,making spirits bright,What fun it is to ride and singA sleighing song tonight, O
Jingle bells, jingle bells,jingle all the way!O what fun it is to rideIn a one-horse open sleigh (repeat)
A day or two ago,I thought I’d take a ride,And soon Miss Fanny BrightWas seated by my side;The horse was lean and lank;Misfortune seemed his lot;He got into a drifted bank,And we, we got upsot.O
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,Jingle all the way!O what fun it is to rideIn a one-horse open sleigh. (repeat)
A day or two ago,
the story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh,
He laughed as there
I sprawling lie,
But quickly drove away, O
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh. (repeat)
Now the ground is white
Go it while you’re young,
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay
two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! you’ll take the lead, O
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

The First NoelThe fi rst Noel, the angel
did say,Was to certain poor
shepherds in fi elds asthey lay;
In fi elds where they laykeeping their sheep,
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,Born is the King of
Israel.
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gavegreat light,
And so it continued bothday and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,Born is the King of
Israel.
And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men camefrom country far;
To seek for a King was
their intent,And to follow the star
wherever it went.Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,Born is the King of
Israel.
This star drew night tothe northwest,
O’er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did bothstop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,Born is the King of
Israel.
Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently upontheir knee;
And offered there in his presence,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,Born is the King of
Israel.

Frosty the SnowmanFrosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,With a corncob pipe and a button noseand two eyes made out of coal.Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,He was made of snow but the childrenknow how he came to life one day.There must have been some magic inThat old silk hat they found.For when they placed it on his headhe began to dance around.O, Frosty the snowmanwas alive as he could be,And the children say he could laughand play just the same as you and me.Thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,Look at Frosty go.Thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,Over the hills of snow.
Frosty the snowman knewthe sun was hot that day,So he said, “Let’s run andwe’ll have some funnow before I melt away.”Down to the village,with a broomstick in his hand,Running here and there allaround the square saying,Catch me if you can.He led them down the streets of townright to the traffi c cop.And he only paused a moment whenhe heard him holler “Stop!”For Frosty the snow manhad to hurry on his way,But he waved goodbye saying,“Don’t you cry,I’ll be back again some day.”Thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,Look at Frosty go.Thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,Over the hills of snow.

Joy to the WorldJoy to the world! The
Lord is come:Let earth receive her
King.Let ev’ry heart prepare
Him room,And heaven and nature
sing,And heaven and nature
sing,And heaven, and heaven
and nature sing.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nationsprove
The glories of His righ-teousness
And wonders of His love,And wonders of His love,And wonders, wonders of
His love.
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
“Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From Heaven’s all gracious King!”
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music fl oats
O’er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o’er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
O ye beneath life’s crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow;
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace, their King,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,But the fi re is so delightful,And since we’ve no place to go,Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn’t show signs of stopping,And I brought some corn for
popping;The lights are turned way down low,Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we fi nally say good night,How I’ll hate going out in the storm;But if you really hold me tight,All the way home I’ll be warm.
The fi re is slowly dying,And, my dear, we’re still good-bye-
ing,But as long as you love me so.Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Let It Snow
Away in a manger no crib for a bedthe little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet
headThe stars in the bright sky looked down
where he laythe little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing the baby awakesbut little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.I love you Lord Jesus; look down from
the skyand stay by my side until morning is
nigh.
Be near me Lord Jesus I ask you to stayclose by me for ever, and love me, I
pray.Bless all the dear children in your
tender care,and fi t us for heaven, to live with you
there
Away in a Manger
We Three KingsWe three kings of Orient are,Bearing gifts we traverse afar,Field and fountain, moor andmountain,Following yonder Star.
(Chorus)O, star of wonder, star of night,Star with royal beauty bright,Westward leading, stillproceeding,Guide us to thy perfect light.
Born a babe on Bethlehem’s plain;Gold I bring to crown Himagain;King forever, ceasing never,Over us all to reign.
Chorus
Frankincense to offer have I;Incense owns a Deity nigh;Prayer and praising, all men raising,Worship Him, God on High.
Chorus
Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfumeBreathes a life of gathering gloom;Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding,dying,Seal’d in the stone-cold tomb.
Chorus
Glorious now behold Him arise,King and God and sacrifi ce,Alleluia, alleluia!Sounds through the earth andskies.
Merry Christmas!

CHRISTMAS SONGBOOK 2012 NANAIMO NEWS BULLETIN 19
Oh holy night!The stars are brightly shiningIt is the night of the dear Savior’s
birth!Long lay the world in sin and error
piningTill he appear’d and the soul felt its
worth.A thrill of hope the weary world
rejoicesFor yonder breaks a new and glorious
morn!
Fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine Oh night divine
Led by the light of Faith serenelybeaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle westand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleam-ing
Here come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowlymanger
In all our trials born to be our friend.Truly He taught us to love one anotherHis law is love and His gospel is peaceChains shall He break for the slave is
our brotherAnd in His name all oppression shall
ceaseSweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus
raise we,Let all within us praise His holy name.
Oh Holy Night

For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne, We’ll take a cup o’ kind-ness yet For auld lang syne!
Should auld acquaintancebe forgot,And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance
be forgot,And auld lang syne!
And surely ye ‘ll be your pint’ stowp, And surely I ‘ll be mine, And we ‘ll take a cup o’kindness yet For auld lang syne!
We twa hae run about thebraes,And pou’d the gowans fi ne,But we ‘ve wander’d
monie a weary fi t Sin’ auld lang syne.
We twa hae paidl’d in theburnFrae morning sun till dine, But seas between us braid
hae roar’d Sin’ auld lang syne.
And there’s a hand, mytrusty fi ere, And gie ‘s a hand o’ thine,And we ‘ll tak a right guid-willie waught For auld lang syne!
Chorus For auld lang syne, mydear, For auld lang syne, We’ll tak a cup o’ kindess yet For auld lang syne
O’ Little Town of BethlehemO little town of Bethlehem.How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleepThe silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shinethThe everlasting light.
The hopes and fears of all the yearsAre met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary,And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep the angels keepTheir watch of wond’ring love.
O morning stars, togetherProclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,And peace to men on earth!
