Up on the House Top
Up on the house top reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down thro' the chimney with lots of toys,
All for the little ones, Christmas joys
Ho Ho Ho! Who wouldn't go
Ho Ho Ho! Who wouldn't go
Up on the house top, click click click
Down through the chimney with old Saint Nick
First comes the stocking of little Nell
Oh dear Santa, fill it well
Give her a dollie that laughs and crys
One that will open and shut her eyes
Ho Ho Ho! Who wouldn't go
Ho Ho Ho! Who wouldn't go
Up on the house top, click click click
Down through the chimney with old Saint Nick
Next comes the stocking of little Will
Oh just see what a glorious fill
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks
Also a ball and a whip that cracks
Ho Ho Ho! Who wouldn't go
Ho Ho Ho! Who wouldn't go
Up on the house top, click click click
Down through the chimney with old Saint Nick
We Three Kings of Orient Are
John H. Hopkins, Jr., 1857
We three kings of Orient are
bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
following yonder star.
Chorus
O star of wonder, star of night,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to thy perfect Light.
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
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 perfume
breaths a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying,
sealed in the stone-cold tomb. Chorus
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies. Chorus
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
Once in the year
It's not for t' miss
To visit our neighbours
And sing out like this
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year
Of friendship and love
Good neighbours around
And peace and goodwill
the whole year around
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year |
