Season’s greetings,
everyone!
With Christmas
just around the corner,
let’s ring in the holiday cheer
with merry melodies
from diverse choirs. We’ll enjoy choral arrangements along with famous holiday songs from the Montreal Welsh Male Choir from Canada; a church choir from Ottawa, Canada; the Brotherhood of St. Laurence Breakfast Club Choir composed of African children; and from the United States, the Assabet Valley Mastersingers from Massachusetts; the Portland Symphonic Girl Choir from Oregon; and the Sanctuary Choir of the First Baptist Congregational Church in Chicago, Illinois. We’ll also celebrate this festive time of year with splendid dances for the season. So please join us on a journey through a joy-filled musical wonderland! Peace on Earth Good will toward men Deck the halls with boughs of holly 'Tis the season to be jolly Don we now our gayapparel Troll the ancient Yuletide carol Peace on Earth Good will toward men See the blazing Yule before us Strike the harp and join the chorus Follow me in merry measure While I tell of Yuletide treasure Peace on Earth Good will toward men Fast away the old year passes Hail the new, ye lads and lasses Sing we joyous, all together Heedless of the wind and weather I would just wish that the world could be a more peaceful place. And that’s what I wish sincerely because I think we have a lot of sincere people who are moving towards that. Through the window, by your cradle, shines a moonbeam soft and sweet. Sleep my baby, fear no danger, none can harm you, mother’s near. In the treetops winds are sighing, birds are flying to their rest. Warm and cozy, no more crying, sleep my baby, be at rest. Through the window, by your cradle, shines a moonbeam soft and sweet. Sleep my baby, fear no danger, none can harm you, mother’s near. In the treetops winds are sighing, birds are flying to their rest. Warm and cozy, no more crying, sleep my baby, be at rest. In the bleak mid-winter, frosty winds made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak mid-winter, long ago. Angels and archangels may have gathered there, cherubim and seraphim thronged the air; but his mother only, in her maiden bliss, worshiped the holy baby with a kiss. What can I give him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; if I were a wiseman, I would do my part; yet what I can, I give him, give him my heart, give him my heart. 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 ev'rywhere 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 Christmas Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas On, on they send On without end Their joyful tone To ev'ry home Ding, dong, ding, dong. What child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary’s lap is sleeping, Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary! Why lies He in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary! So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh; Come, peasant, king, to own him! The King of Kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone him! This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary! Come they told me A new born King to see Our finest gifts we bring To lay before the King So to honor him When we come. Little Baby I am a poor boy too I have no gift to bring That's fit to give the King Shall I play for you On my drum? Mary nodded The ox and lamb kept time I played my drum for him I played my best for him Then he smiled at me Me and my drum. Let it snow Let it snow Let it 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've bought some corn for popping, The lights are turned way down low, Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! When we finally kiss goodnight, How I'll hate going out in the storm! But if you'll really hold me tight, All the way home I'll be warm. The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we're still good-bying, But as long as you love me so, Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Blessed viewers, thank you for your warmhearted presence today. Please tune in tomorrow, Wednesday, December 22 for the second and final part of this program with more joyful choirs! Coming up next is Words of Wisdom, after Noteworthy News, here on Supreme Master Television. May you and your loved ones be safe and happy. |
