CHRISTMAS SING-A-LONG

WHAT CHILD IS THIS?

The words What Child Is This are sung to the old English tune
‘*Greensleeves’’ which was popular before the time of Queen
Elizabeth. It was one of the t-liked tunes of its day and
Shakespeare mentions it twice in ‘‘The Merry Wives of
Windsor.’’ The present words about the Christ Child were
written by William C. Dix during the reign of Queen Victoria.

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:

Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through
The Cross be borne, for me, for you:
Hail, hail the Word made flesh

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.

Raise, raise the song on high

The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy for Christ is born, The Babe,
the Son of Mary!

RUDOLPH THE RED-
NOSED REINDEER

You know Dasher, and Dancer, Prancer
And Vixen,

Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen,

But do you recall

The most famous reindeer of all .. .

Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer,
Had a very shiny nose,

And if you ever saw it,

You would see it even glows!

‘SILENT NIGHT

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!
Shepherds quake at the sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah.
Christ, the Saviour is born!
Christ, the Saviour is born!

Silent night! holy night!

Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from The holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

Come earl

All of the other reindeer

Used to laugh and call him names;
They would never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve,
Santa came to say:

Rudolph, with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight]

Then how the Reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee:
Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down tn history!
