O the rising of the sun, The running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a blossom, As white as any flow’r, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To be our sweet Saviour. O the rising of the sun, The running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweeting singing in the choir, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a berry, As red as any blood, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To do poor sinners good. O the rising of the sun, The running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a prickle, As sharp as any thorn, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, On Christmas Day in the morn. O the rising of the sun, The running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir, Sweet singing in the choir. O Christmas Tree [O Tannenbaum] O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, How steadfast are your branches! Your boughs are green in summer’s clime And through the snows of winter time. O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, How steadfast are your branches! O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, What happiness befalls me When oft at joyous Christmastime Your form inspires my song and rhyme, O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, What happiness befalls me. O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Your boughs can teach a lesson That constant faith and hope sublime Lend strength and comfort through all time. O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Your boughs can teach a lesson. Frosty the Snowman >1 Frosty the Snow Man was a jolly, happy soul, With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the Snow Man 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. Oh, Frosty the Snow Man was alive as he could be, And the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me. Frosty the Snow Man knew the sun was hot that day, So he said, “Let’s run and we’ll have some fun now before I melt away.’’ Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand, Running here and there all around the square, sayin’, “Catch me if you can.’’ He led them down the streets of town right to a traffic cop And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler “Stop!” For Frosty the Snow Man had to hurry on his way, But he waved good-bye, sayin’, “Don’t you cry; I’ll be back again someday.” Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go; Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow. Let It Snow Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire 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 finally kiss good night, How I’ll hate going out in the storm; But if you’ll really hold me tight, All the way I’ll be warm. The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we’re still good-byeing, But as long as you love me so, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Once in Royal David's City Once in Royal David’s City Stood a lowly cattle shed. Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for His bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, that little Child. He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all. And His shelter was a stable And His cradle was a stall. With the poor, the meek, the mild, Lived on earth our Savior Child. And thro’ all His wond’rous childhood He would honor and obey. Love and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms He lay. Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He. Ill Be Home For Christmas I’ll be home for Christmas; You can plan on me, Please have snow and mistletoe And presents on the tree. Christmas Eve will find me Where the love-light gleams. I’ll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams. SEASON’S GREETINGS AND BEST WISHES FROM jextra Carol sheets available at our store]n CONSTRUCTION .
