Words for Christmas Songs 2023

1. Little drummer boy


Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum

A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum

Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum

To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum

Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum


So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum

When we come


Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum

I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum

I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum

That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum

Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum


Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum

On my drum?


Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum

The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum

I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum

I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum

Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum


Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum

Me and my drum




2. O come o come Emmanuel


1. O come, O come, Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear


Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel


2. O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer

Our spirits by Thine advent here

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night

And death's dark shadows put to flight


Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel


3. O come, Thou Key of David, come

And open wide Thy Heavenly home

Make safe the way that leads on high

And close the path to misery


Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel




3. It’s the most wonderful time of the year


It's the most wonderful time of the year

With kids jingle belling and everyone telling you "be of good cheer"

It's the most wonderful time of the year. 


It's the hap-happiest season of all

With those holiday greetings

And fun happy meetings when friends come to call

It's the hap-happiest season of all


There'll be parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting

And caroling out in the snow

There'll be wonderful stories, and tales of the glories

Of Christmases long, long ago


It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be much mistletoeing

And hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near

It's the most wonderful time of the year 


There'll be parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting

And caroling out in the snow

There'll be wonderful stories, and tales of the glories

Of Christmases long, long ago…


It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be much mistletoeing

And hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near

It's the most wonderful time

It's the most wonderful time

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Star and angels gave the sign

Bow to babe on bended knee

The Savior of humanity

Unto us a Child is born

Born to suffer, born to save

Born to raise us from the grave

6. One Child


1. An angel appeared of the highest One

And Mary believed the word she received of God's only son

The Virgin rejoiced, Gave thanks to the Lord

And as Joseph dreamt the angel was sent

With tidings of piece and joy, of the blessed baby boy


2. They travelled for miles To reach Bethlehem

Yet when they arrived No one could provide 

A place at the inn for them

But God kept them safe From hurt, harm, and danger

In His warm embrace Away in a Manager waiting for Jesus' birth 

To glorify the Earth Then He came


Chorus: 

One child can change the world

Christmas Morn' The King of all kings was born

He reigns forevermore

Let us worship and adore Christ the Lord


3. Wonderous star Led shepherds and wise men

Through valleys and mountains

Angels surrounded them as they travelled afar

As Heaven and Home rang out for the Savior

The sweet Prince of piece lay majestively

Asleep glorious and pure

And His mercy endures for always


Chorus: 

One child can change the world

Christmas Morn' The King of all kings was born

He reigns forevermore

Let us worship and adore Christ the Lord


Let us worship Him Let us worship Christ the Lord

This angel appeared, the angel appeared

Christ the Lord on Christmas Morn




7. Silent night with Savior King


1. 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


2. Silent night holy night

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly host sing hallelujah

Christ the Savior is born

Christ the Savior is born 


Chorus (2 x’s):

I love You Lord I worship You

Hope which was lost now stands renewed

I give my life to honor this

The love of Christ the Savior King


3. 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
