Popular Christmas songs
‘Christmas Day’
Christmas Day is here and so are we
Time for children and presents
And Christmas trees.
Happiness, loveliness,
Christmas bells ringing out
goodwill to men and peace on earth.
Ev'ry thing they taught you
When you were a child
The things a Child once taught the world.
If Christmas day is really in your heart
You don't have to save up all your love
To give once a year
Learn to give, try to live
Each day like Christmas Day.

A child this day is born
A child of high renown
Most worthy of a sceptre and a crown

Because the king of kings
Was born on Christmas day
These tidings shepherds heard
Whilst watching o'er their fold;
'Twas by an Angel unto them
That night revealed and told.
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the king of kings
Was born on Christmas day
Then was there with the Angel
An host incontinent
Of heavenly bright soldiers,
All from the highest sent.
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the king of kings
Was born on Christmas day
They praised the Lord our God,
And our celestial King;
All glory be in Paradise,
This heavenly host do sing.
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the king of kings
Was born on Christmas day
All glory be to God,
That sitteth still on high,
With praises and with triumph great,
Andjoyful melody.
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the king of kings
Was born on Christmas day
