1. HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING
V1.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th'angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!"
V2.
Christ, by highest Heav'n adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord;
Late in time, behold Him come,
Offspring of a virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail th'incarnate Deity,
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus our Emmanuel.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!"

3. TU SCENDI DALLE STELLE
V1.
Tu scendi dalle stelle
O Re del Cielo
E vieni in una grotta
Al freddo al gelo
E vieni in una grotta
Al freddo al gelo
O Bambino mio Divino
Io ti vedo qui a tremar
O Dio Beato
Ahi, quanto ti costò
L'avermi amato!
Ahi, quanto ti costò
L'avermi amato!

A te, che sei del mondo
Il Creatore
Mancano panni e fuoco
O mio Signore!
Mancano panni e fuoco
O mio Signore!
Caro eletto Pargoletto
Quanto questa povertà
Più mi innamora!
Giacché ti fece amor
Povero ancora!
Giacché ti fece amor
Povero ancora!

Joy to the world! The Lord is come
Let earth receive her King!

While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

7. IN NOTTE PLACIDA
In notte placida, per muto sentier
Dai campi del ciel è sceso l'amor
All'alme fedeli il Redentor
Nell'aria un palpito d'un grande mister
Del nuovo Israel è nato il Signor
Il fiore più bello dei nostri cuor!
Cantate popoli gloria all'Altissimo (oh)
Cantate popoli gloria al Signor (oh)
Se l'aura e gelida, e fosco e il ciel,
deh! vieni al mio cuore vieni a posar,
ti vo' col mio amore riscaldar.
Se il fieno e rigido, se il vento e crudel,
un cuore che t'ama voglio atedar,
un sen che Te brama, Gesu, cullar.
8. JINGLE BELLS
[Verse 1]
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
[Chorus]
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
[Verse 2]
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon, Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upset
9. FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
Frosty the Snowman
He's a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in
That old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Frosty the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Frosty the Snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said let's run
And we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away
10. THE FIRST NOWELL
The first nowell the angel did say
was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
in fields where they lay keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell,
born is the King of Israel.
They lookèd 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.
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell,
born is the King of Israel.
11. WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
We wish you a Merry Christmas, (3x)
And a happy new year!
Auguri di Buon Natale, (3x)
e felice anno nuovo!
2. SILENT NIGHT / ASTRO DEL CIEL
(English)
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
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
(Italian)
Astro del ciel, Pargol divin,
mite Agnello Redentor!
Tu che i Vati da lungi sognar,
tu che angeliche voci nunziar,
luce dona alle genti,
pace infondi nei cuor!
Astro del ciel, Pargol divin,
mite Agnello Redentor!
Tu di stirpe regale decor,
Tu virgineo, mistico fior,
luce dona alle genti,
pace infondi nei cuor!
3. HALLELUJAH (COHEN)
I've heard about this baby boy
Who's come to earth to bring us joy
And I just want to sing this song to you
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
With every breath I'm singing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
A couple came to Bethlehem
Expecting child, they searched the inn
To find a place for You were coming soon
There was no room for them to stay
So in a manger filled with hay
God's only Son was born, oh Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
The shepherds left their flocks by night
To see this baby wrapped in light
A host of angels led them all to You
It was just as the angels said
You'll find Him in a manger bed
Immanuel and Savior, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
A star shown bright up in the east
To Bethlehem, the Wise Men three
Came many miles and journeyed long for You
And to the place at which You were
Their frankincense and gold and myrrh
They gave to You and cried out Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I know You came to rescue me
This baby boy would grow to be
A man and one day die for me and you
My sins would drive the nails in You
That rugged cross was my cross, too
Still every breath You drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
4. GESU BAMBINO
Nell'umile capanna
nel freddo e povertà
è nato il Santo pargolo
che il mondo adorerà.
Osanna, osanna cantano
con giubilante cor
i tuoi pastori ed angeli
o re di luce e amor.
Venite adoremus
venite adoremus
venite adoremus
Dominum.
O bel bambin non piangere
non piangere, Redentor!
la mamma tua cullandoti
ti bacia, O Salvator.
Osanna, osanna cantano
con giubilante cor
i tuoi pastori ed angeli
o re di luce e amor.
Venite adoremus
venite adoremus
venite adoremus
Dominum.
Ah! venite adoremus
Ah! adoremus Dominum
venite, venite
venite adoremus
adoremus
Dominum.
