Oh the happiest Christmas
Is a homecoming Christmas
With the snow fluttering down 'til the world seems new

Bright candles burning
Old friends returning
The wishes of children coming true

And the happiest wishes are just old-fashioned wishes
May your days be merry, your sorrows be few
May the ones you love be near you
That's the happiest Christmas of all

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

On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer, on Vixen
On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner, on Blitzen
Put on your bells, your Christmas bells

Come on, we're going for a sleigh ride
Christmas time is here again
Come on, we're going for a sleigh ride
To spread good cheer again
From the top of the chimney to the top of the wall
Dash away, dash away, dash away all

Old Saint Nicholas, he took a flight
The moon was shining bright
Bring out the bells
Ol' Saint Nick was riding through the sky
You should have seen those reindeer fly

Bring out the bells, it's a holiday season
Bring out the bells, it's a happy time
Bring out the bells, we've got a good reason
To ring the bells and hear those pretty bells chime

Chorus:
Ring Christmas bells
Ring them loud with the message bringing
Peace on the earth
Tidings of good cheer
Come carolers
Come and join with the angels singing
Joy to the world
Christmastime is here again

Children gather around and listen
You'll hear the sound
Of angels filling the sky
Telling everyone
Christmas time is here

Chorus

Loved ones close to our hearts
and strangers in lands afar
Together share in the joy
Emmanuel
He has come to dwell
With one voice
Let the world rejoice

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome Holy Child
Welcome Holy Child

Hope that you don't mind our manger
How I wish we would have known
But long awaited Holy Stranger
Make yourself at home
Please make yourself at home

Bring your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
World now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world

Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for them
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born

So wrap our injured flesh around You
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Perfect Son of God
Welcome to our world

Frosted window panes, Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree

Santa's on his way, He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me

It's that time of year, When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say

Merry Christmas
May your New Year's dreams come true
And this song of mine, In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours, The same thing too!

Frosted window panes (See them gleaming)
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Just look and you'll see

Santa's on his way (That's why sleigh bells are ringing)
He's filled his sleigh (And that's why we're all singing)
With things, Things for you and for me

It's that time of year (Time for falling)
When the world falls in love (So in love)
Every song you hear seems to say

Merry Christmas
May your New Year's dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too!


We Three Kings

Piano: MWS Mixed by: Steve Bishir at the Sound Kitchen Assisted by: Todd Gunnerson

Medley:

Away in a Manger
Arr. MWS © 1998 Milene Music, Inc./Deer Valley Music (admin. by Milene Music, Inc.)/ASCAP
Orchestrated by: Tom Howard Piano: MWS Vocal: Anna Smith

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down is sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

Child in the Manger
Piano: MWS Orchestra and Choir orchestrated by: Tom Howard Mixed by: Bill Deaton at the Sound Kitchen Assisted by: Fred Paragano

Child in the manger, Infant of Mary
Outcast and stranger, Lord of all
Child who inherits
All our transgressions
All our demerits on Him fall

Once the most holy
Child of salvation, Gently and lowly
Now as our glorious Mighty Redeemer
See Him victorious O'er each foe

Prophets foretold Him Infant of wonder
Angels behold Him on His throne
Worthy our Saviour Of all our praises
Happy forever are His own


Carols Sing
Paul & Martha Puckett © 1990 Broadman Press (SESAC)
Piano: MWS Keyboards: MWS & Blair Masters

Carols sing to the King
Jesus Christ our Savior
Born this day, angels say
In a lowly manger
He came down to the earth
Bringing us new birth
Carols sing to the King
Jesus Christ our
Savior

Tidings bring! Hail the King!
Shepherds did adore Him
From afar, by the star
Wise men sought and found Him
Son of God, Son of Man
All in all I see
Carols raise His name praise
He shall reign eternally
Carols sing to the King
Jesus Christ our
Savior
