O Holy Night.
Vocals: American singer, songwriter and actor Joshua Winslow Groban. (Latter who has sold over 22.3 million records, with four solo albums certified multi-platinum),
Lyrics: Originally based on a French-language poem written in 1843 by poet Placide Cappeau. Same was set to music by composer Adolphe Adam in 1847. The English version, with small changes to the initial melody, is by John Sullivan Dwight. The carol reflects on the birth of Jesus as humanity’s redemption.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 (King James Version).
O Holy Night.
O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining.
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth.
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,
O hear the angel voices,
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born,
O night divine,
O night, O night divine,
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother,
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord.
Let ever, ever praise Thee.
Noel, Noel.
O night, O night divine.
Noel, Noel.
O night, O night divine.
Noel, Noel.
O night, O night divine.
End.

Christmas Time.
We waited all through the year,
For the day to appear,
When we could be together in harmony.
You know the time will come,
Peace on earth for everyone,
And we can live forever,
In a world where we are free.
Let it shine for you and me,
There’s something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
That makes you wish it was Christmas everyday.
To see the joy in the children’s eyes,
The way that the old folks smile,
Says that Christmas will never go away.
We’re all as one tonight,
It makes no difference if you’re black or white,
‘Cause we can sing together in harmony.
I know it’s not too late,
The world would be a better place,
If we can keep the spirit,
More than one day in the year,
Send a message loud and clear.
There’s something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
That makes you wish it was Christmas everyday.
To see the joy in the children’s eyes,
The way that the old folks smile,
Says that Christmas will never go away.
It’s the time of year, everyone’s together,
We’ll celebrate here on Christmas day,
When the ones you love are there,
You can feel the magic in the air,
You know it’s everywhere.
There’s something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
Makes you wish it was Christmas every day.
To see the joy in the children’s eyes,
The way that the old folks smile,
Says that Christmas will never go away.
There’s something about Christmas time,
Something about Christmas time,
Makes you wish it was Christmas every day,
To see the joy in the children’s eyes,
The way that the old folks smile,
Says that Christmas will never go away,
Please tell me Christmas would never go away.

Christmas Is.
Lyrics: American singer-songwriter and actress Dolly Parton.
Vocals: American singers-songwriters and actresses Dolly Parton and Miley Ray Cyrus, latter dubbed the “Pop Chameleon”.
Christmas Is.
(Mmhmm
Ah huh
Mmhmm)
Christmas is a time for caring,
Being at your best.
Christmas is a time for sharing,
Knowing you’ve been blessed.
Christmas is a time for giving,
Love is made of this,
That’s what Christmas is.
Christmas is a joyful time,
If you’re the lucky ones.
Some are blessed with gifts and trinkets,
Others having none.
Some have feasts up on the table,
Others having crumbs.
There are the haves and the have nots,
And you could be either one.
It’s all about kindness,
Love and compassion,
Better to give than receive.
That is a true fact,
But those who don’t know that,
Well, they are the poorest indeed.
And I hope you remember every December,
That bright shining light from above,
The promise from God’s lips,
The greatest of all gifts,
Wrapped up in His wonderous love (His wondrous love).
So rejoice in His glory,
The great Christmas story,
And to all that you’re sharing in will (uh huh),
You go tell it with passion (oh),
Of love everlasting (lasting),
‘Cause that’s what Christmas is.
Is a time for caring,
Being at your best,
Christmas is a time for sharing,
Knowing you’ve been blessed.
Christmas is a time for giving,
Love is made of this,
That’s what Christmas is.
(Mmhmm, mmhmm, mmhmm),
That’s what Christmas is.

I Need a Silent Night
Vocals: American singer; songwriter and musician Amy Grant.
Lyrics: Amy Grant and British Contemporary Christian singer and classic songwriter Christopher Neville Eaton.
I Need a Silent Night
I’ve made the same mistake before,
Too many malls, too many stores.
December traffic, Christmas rush,
It breaks me till I push and shove,
Children are crying while mothers are trying,
To photograph Santa and sleigh.
The shopping and buying and standing forever in line.
What can I say?
I need a silent night, a holy night,
To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here,
To end this crazy day with a silent night.
December comes then disappears,
Faster and faster every year.
Did my own mother keep this pace,
Or was the world a different place?
Where people stayed home wishing for snow,
Watching three channels on their TV.
Look at us now rushing around,
Trying to buy Christmas peace.
I need a silent night, a holy night,
To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise,
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here.
To end this crazy day with a silent night.
What was it like back there in Bethlehem,
With peace on earth, good will toward men?
Every shepherd’s out in the field,
Keeping watch over their flock by night,
And the glory of the Lord shone around them,
And they were so afraid.
And the angels said fear not for behold,
I bring you good news of a great joy that shall be for all people.
For unto you is born this day a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace.
I need a silent night, a holy night,
To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise,
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here,
To end this crazy day with a silent night.
To end this crazy day with a silent night.
