CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT

> Deck The Halls lyrics <


Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la la la la la
'Tis the season to be jolly 
Fa la la la la la la la la
Don we now our gay apparel 
Fa la la la la la la la la
Sing the ancient Yuletide carol 
Fa la la la la la la la la

> Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas <


Christmas future is far away
Christmas past is past
Christmas present is here today
Bringing joy that will last


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 your troubles
Will be miles away


Here we are 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




> God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen <


God rest ye merry gentlemen 
Let nothing you dismay 
Remember Christ our savior 
Was born on Christmas day 
To save us all from Satan’s power 
When we were gone astray 
Oh tidings of comfort and joy 


From God our heavenly father 
The blessed angel came 
And unto certain shepherds 
Brought tidings of the same 
How that in Bethlehem was born 
The Son of God by name 
Oh tidings of comfort and joy 
Oh tidings of comfort and joy 


Fear not said the angel 
Let nothing you affright 
This day is born a savior
Of the pure virgin bright 
To free all those who trust in him 
From Satan’s power and might 
Oh tidings of comfort and joy 


And when they came to Bethlehem 
Where our dear savior lay 
They found him in the manger 
Where oxen feed on hay 
His mother Mary kneeled down 
And to the Lord did pray 
Oh tidings of comfort and joy 
Oh tidings of comfort and joy 


God rest ye merry gentlemen 
Let nothing you dismay 
Remember Christ our savior 
Was born on Christmas day




> Away in a Manger <


Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus, lays down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay


The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes 
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes 
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh 


Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay 
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there




> What Child Is This? <


What child is this layed to rest
While Mary's man is sleeping 
Whom angles greet with anthems sweet
While shepards watch their king


Why lies he in such lowly place
While cows and sheep are feeding
Good christian fear for sinners here
A silent word is pleeding


(Chorus)
This This is christ the King
Whom shepards guard and angles sing
Hast hast to bring him praise
The baby son of mary


So bring him insence, gold, and myrrh
come peasant King to owe him
the king of kings salvation bring
that loving hearts inthrone


(Chorus)
This this is christ the king 
Whom Shepards guard and angles sing
Hast Hast to bring him praise
the baby son of Mary




> Carol of the Bells <


Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, "Throw cares away."
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
Oh!, how they pound, raising the sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale


Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here!
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!


On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, "Throw cares away."
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling.
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
O, how they pound, raising the sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale


Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here!
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!


On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Ding dong ding dong...
Dumm.....
