I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

E vgiene giu dal ciel, lento,
un dolce canto ammaliator
che mi dice: "Spera anche tu...
e Natale non soffrire piu!"

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all you Christmases be white
And may all you Christmases be white
And may all you Christmases be white

. . .


Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyful strains

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Shepherds why this jubilee
Why your joyful strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

. . .


I just came back from a trip along the Milky Way
I stopped off at the North Pole to spend the holiday
I called on old dear Santa Claus to see what I could see
He took me to his workshop and told his plans to me

Now Santa is a busy man he has no time to play
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas Day
You better write your letter now and mail it right away
Because he's getting ready his reindeers and his sleigh

You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list and checkin' it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

Little tin horns, little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Curly head dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

The kids in girl and boyland
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland
All around the Christmas tree

So you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

. . .


Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey
And some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
And goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer
Really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you.

. . .


Our Father
Which art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done

On Earth
As it is in heaven
Give us this day
Our daily bread
And forgive us
Our debts
As we forgive
Our debters
Into temptation
But deliver us
From evil

For Thine
Is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory
For ever and ever
Amen

. . .


What Child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While the shepherds watch are keeping?

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!

Raise, raise, the song on high,
His mother sings her lullaby;

Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

What child is this?
What child is this?
What child is this?

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Oh Mary, oh Mary
The Son of Mary
Oh Mary

Oh Mary

Adeste fideles
laeti triumphantes
venite, venite in Bethlehem
Natum videte
Regem angelorum
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus
Dominum

En, grege relicto,
humiles ad cunas,
vocati pastores approperant;
et nos ovanti gradu festinemus.
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus
Dominum

Adeste fideles
laeti triumphantes
venite, venite in Bethlehem
Natum videte
Regem angelorum
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus,

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You stand in verdant beauty
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You stand in verdant beauty

Your boughs are green in summer's glow
And do not fade in winter's snow
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You stand in verdant beauty

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Ooh
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Ooh

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Much pleasure doth thou bring me
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Much pleasure doth thou bring me

For every year, the Christmas Tree
Brings to us all both joy and glee
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Much pleasure doth thou bring me

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Ooh
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Ooh

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Thy candles shine out brightly
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Thy candles shine out brightly

Each bough doth hold its tiny light
That makes each joy the spark through light
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Thy candles shine out brightly

Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated at my side
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot
He got into and drifted back, and we, we've got upset

Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

. . .


Franz Xaver Gruber

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
Son of God, love's pure light,
radiant, beams from thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth!
Jesus, Lord at thy birth!

Sleep in heavenly peace!

. . .


I'll have a blue Christmas without you;
I'll be so blue thinking about you.
Decorations of red
On a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if
You're not here with me

I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain;
And when that blue heartache starts hurting,
You'll be doing all right
With your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

. . .


Oh, holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Oh yes, it is now

Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til He appeared
And the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angels' voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night when Christ was born

Oh, night
Oh, holy, holy night
Oh, night divine

Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angels' voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night oh, when Christ was born

Oh, night
Oh, holy night
Oh, night divine

Caro Gesu Bambino
tu che sei tanto buono
fammi questo piacer
lascia una volta il cielo
e vieni a giocar,
a giocare con me.
Lo sai, il babbo e povero
ed io non ho giocattoli;
sono un babino buono,
come lo fosti tu . . .
Vedrai, pero, se vieni,
noi ci divertiremo,
anche senza balocchi.
Vieni, bambin Gesu!

. . .


Tu scendi dalle stelle, o Re del cielo,
e vieni in una grotta al freddo e al gelo. (2 v.)
O Bambino mio divino,
io ti vedo qui a tremar;
o Dio beato !
Ah, quanto ti costò l'avermi amato ! (2 v.)

A te, che sei del mondo il Creatore,
mancano panni e fuoco, o mio Signore. (2 v.)
Caro eletto pargoletto,
quanto questa povertà
più m'innamora,
giacché ti fece amor povero ancora. (2 v.)

Tu lasci il bel gioir del divin seno,
per giunger a penar su questo fieno. (2 v.)
Dolce amore del mio core,
dove amore ti trasportò ?
O Gesù mio,
per ché tanto patir ? per amor mio ! (2 v.)

Ma se fu tuo voler il tuo patire,
perché vuoi pianger poi, perché vagire ? (2 v.)
mio Gesù, t'intendo sì !
Ah, mio Signore !
Tu piangi non per duol, ma per amore. (2 v.)

Tu piangi per vederti da me ingrato
dopo sì grande amor, sì poco amato!
O diletto - del mio petto,
Se già un tempo fu così, or te sol bramo
Caro non pianger più, ch'io t'amo e t'amo (2 v.)

Tu dormi, Ninno mio, ma intanto il core
non dorme, no ma veglia a tutte l'ore
Deh, mio bello e puro Agnello
a che pensi? dimmi tu. O amore immenso,
un dì morir per te, rispondi, io penso. (2 v.)

Dunque a morire per me, tu pensi, o Dio
ed altro, fuor di te, amar poss'io?
O Maria. speranza mia,
se poc'amo il tuo Gesù, non ti sdegnare
amalo tu per me, s'io non so amare! (2 v)

. . .


One day I'll hear
The laugh of children
In a world where war has been banned.

One day I'll see
Men of all colours
Sharing words of love and devotion.

Stand up and feel
The Holy Spirit
Find the power of your faith.

Open your heart
To those who need you
In the name of love and devotion.

Yes, I believe.

I believe in the people
Of all nations
To join and to care
For love.

I believe in a world
Where light will guide us
And giving our love
We'll make heaven on earth.

I believe in the people
Of all nations
To join and to care
For love.

I believe in a world
Where light will guide us
And giving our love
We'll make heaven on earth.

Yes, I believe.

I believe in the people
Of all nations
To join and to care
For love.

I believe in a world
Where light will guide us
And giving our love
We'll make heaven on earth.

I believe.

Come together one and all

Bow our head and pray

To the voices no one hears,
We have come to find you.
With your laughter and your tears…
Goodness, hope, and virtue
Father, Mother, Daughter, Son
Each a treasure be.
One candle’s light
Dispels the night;
Now our eyes can see---
Burning brighter than the sun.
God Bless Us Everyone
