Ding dong merrily on high
In heaven the bells are ringing
Ding dong verily the sky
Is riven with angels singing
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
Even so here below, below
Let steeple bells be swungen
And ‘Io, io, io!’
By priest and people sungen
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers
May you beautifully rhyme
Your evetime song, ye singers
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis

In the Bleak Mid-Winter
[ 가사 펼치기 · 접기 ]
In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind 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
Heaven cannot hold Him
Nor earth sustain
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign
In the bleak mid-winter
A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty – Jesus Christ
Enough for him, whom cherubim
Worship night and day
A breastful of milk
And a mangerful of hay
Enough for him, whom angels fall down before
The ox and ass and camel which adore
What can I give Him
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what I can I give Him – give my heart

Noël nouvelet
[ 가사 펼치기 · 접기 ]
Noël nouvelet, Noël chantons ici
Devotes gens, crions a Dieu merci
Chantons Noël pour le Roi nouvelet
Noël nouvelet, Noël chantons ici.
Waking from my sleep a vision came to me
For before my eyes there stood a flowering tree
Where on a bright red rosebud I did see
Noël nouvelet, a new Noel sing we.
How my heart did glow with inward joy divine
For with rays of glory did the rosebud shine
As when the sun doth blaze on break of day
This Noel sing we a Noël nouvelet
So, upon my bed I saw these wonders all
Dreaming of a child, an infant child so small
Jesus of Nazereth called a King to be
Noel nouvellet, a new Noel sing we
Noël nouvelet, sing we a new Noel
Thank we now our God, and of His goodness tell
Sing we Noel to greet the new born King
Noël nouvelet, a new Noel we sing
Noël nouvelet, Noël chantons ici

Once in Royal David's City
[ 가사 펼치기 · 접기 ]
Once in royal David’s city
stood a lowly cattle shed
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed
Mary was that Mother mild
Jesus Christ her little child
He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all
and his shelter was a stable
and his cradle was a stall
with the poor and mean and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy
And our eyes at last shall see him
through his own redeeming love
for that child so dear and gentle
is our Lord in heaven above
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone
Not in that poor lowly stable
with the oxen standing by
we shall see him but in heaven,
set at God’s right hand on high
where like stars his children crowned
all in white shall wait around

I saw three ships come sailing in…
And what was in those ships all three…
Our Saviour Christ and His Lady…
Pray, wither sailed those ships all three…
O, they sailed into Bethlehem…
And all the bells on earth shall ring…
And all the angels in heaven shall sing…
And all the souls on earth shall sing…
Then let us all rejoice amain…
On Christmas Day in the morning

What Child is This (Greensleeves)
[ 가사 펼치기 · 접기 ]
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 worship and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him praise
the babe the son of Mary
So bring him incense gold and myrrh
all tongues and peoples own him
the King of kings salvation brings
let every heart enthrone him
Raise, raise your song on high
while Mary sings a lullaby
Joy, Joy for Christ is born
the babe the son of Mary
Sing lullaby
Lullaby baby, now reclining
Sing lullaby
Hush, do not wake the Infant King
Angels are watching, stars are shining
Over the place where he is lying
Sing lullaby
Sing lullaby
Lullaby baby, now a-sleeping
Sing lullaby
Hush, do not wake the Infant King
Soon will come sorrow with the morning
Soon will come bitter grief and weeping
Sing lullaby
Sing lullaby
Lullaby baby, now a-dozing
Sing lullaby
Hush, do not wake the Infant King
Soon comes the cross, the nails, the piercing
Then in the grave at last reposing
Sing lullaby
Sing lullaby
Lullaby! is the babe a-waking?
Sing lullaby
Hush, do not wake the Infant King
Dreaming of Easter, gladsome morning
Conquering death, its bondage breaking
Sing lullaby
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 carolling
One seems to hear
words of good cheer
from everywhere
filling the air
Oh how they pound
raising the sound
o’er hill and dale
telling their tale
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria
Gaily they ring
while people sing
songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On on they send
on without end
their joyful tone to every home
Ding dong ding dong
That is their song

Wexford Carol
[ 가사 펼치기 · 접기 ]
Good people all this Christmas time
consider well and bear in mind
what our good God for us has done
in sending his beloved son
With Mary holy we should pray
to God with love this Christmas Day
In Bethlehem upon that morn
there was a blessed Messiah born
Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep
to whom God’s angels did appear
which put the shepherds in great fear
‘Prepare and go’ the angels said
‘to Bethlehem – be not afraid
for there you’ll find this happy morn
a princely babe, sweet Jesus born ‘
Ó, tagaig’ uile is adhraigí
An leanbh cneasta sa chró ‘na luí
Is cuimhnígí ar ghrá an Rí
A thug dár saoradh anocht an Naí.
S’A Mhuire Mháthair i bParas Dé
Ar chlann bhocht Eabha
Guí anois go séimh
Is doras an chró ná dún go deo
G n-adhraím feasta Mac Rí na hÓighe
With thankful heart and joyful mind
the shepherds went the babe to find
and as God’s angel had foretold
they did our Saviour Christ behold
Within a manger he was laid
and by his side the virgin maid
attending on the Lord of life
who came on earth to end all strife

O Little Town of Bethlehem
[ 가사 펼치기 · 접기 ]
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven
No ear may hear His coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still
The dear Christ enters in
O holy child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

The Angel Gabriel
[ 가사 펼치기 · 접기 ]
The angel Gabriel from heaven came
With wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame
All hail said he thou lowly maiden Mary
Most highly favoured lady. Gloria!
For known a blessed mother thou shalt be
All generations laud and honour thee
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold
Most highly favoured lady. Gloria!
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head
To me be as it pleaseth God she said
My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name
Most highly favoured lady. Gloria!
Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn
And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say
Most highly favoured lady. Gloria!

O, poor little Jesus
This world gonna break your heart
There’ll be no place to lay your head, my Lord
O, poor little Jesus
O, Mary the mother
O, Mary, she bow down and cry
For there’s no place to lay his head, my Lord
O, poor little Jesus
Come down, all you holy angels
Sing round him with your golden harps
For some day he will die to save this world
O, poor little Jesus

Benedicat Domino sallus regi nostro
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
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing ‘Alleluia’
Christ the Saviour is born
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

Do You Hear What I Hear?
[ 가사 펼치기 · 접기 ]
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the tree
with a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A child, a child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The child, the child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I’ll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I’d be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I’d be without you
Ave verum corpus, natum
de Maria Virgine,
vere passum, immolatum
in cruce pro homine
cuius latus perforatum
fluxit aqua et sanguine
esto nobis prægustatum
in mortis examine.
O Iesu dulcis, O Iesu pie,
O Iesu, fili Mariae.
Miserere mei.
At the end of the jetty
where the walk-way meets the blue.
I’ll stand a-lone in the dark-ness
shining through.
No wind can sway me.
All rain a welcome shower.
To muse is to soar through heaven.
Hour on hour.
Roving through the night,
weary hearts ignite,
when they catch a glimpse
of that familiar light,
Nothing anywhere ever can compare
to the one who’s always there
O, great conveyor
for you I’ll be an aid.
You’ll steer an untroubled passage
unswayed
But, sweet deliv’rer,
one day, to me, at tend.
I’ll long to hear you calling,
my friend
Roving through the night,
weary hearts ignite,
when they catch a glimpse
of that familiar light,
Nothing anywhere ever can compare
to the one who’s always there
Out of the fog out of the mire
a familiar outline fires afar.
Hurrying over the glimmering bath
stemming the tide holding us apart.
Ploughing ahead with certain design,
a shot in the dark, an invisible line,
long awaited, hurtling through,
into the light and I’m born anew.
Now after all, returned again,
you heard my call, you heard, my friend,
and while away, I watched afar,
now here you’ll stay, now here you are.

Now find we all at sea,
short a compass, suddenly;
Out on the water, far from home,
wandering further to the unknown
Call out to escort us, call out to me.
Call out to support us, call out to me.
Now find we ill at ease,
less a rudder, drawn on the breeze;
Charting a course not travelled before,
wondering when we’ll find the shore.
Call out to escort us, call out to me.
Call out to support us, call out to me.
Now find we cast adrift,
fearful were the tides to shift;
Gathering closer to stave off the cold,
heartened to have each other to hold.
Call out to escort us, call out to support us, call out to me.
I will sing for you at the start of each day,
I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
In all things I do in the dawn of’ my life,
I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
Shutting out night my life renewed,
Happy for love that is to come
Opening eyes I’ll follow you
Glad to see, glad to be yours
Echoing what you say,
Shining out what you are,
Out of dark, into your light
I will sing for you in the light of each day
I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
In all things I do at the noon of my life,
I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
I will sing for you at the end of each day,
I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
In all things I do in the eve of my life,
I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
I will sing for you each and every day,
I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
In all things I do to the end of my life
I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
Be Still my soul, the Lord is on thy side
bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
leave to thy God to order and provide
in every change he faithful will remain
Be still my soul, thy best thy heavenly Friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end
Be still my soul, when dearest friends depart
and all is darkened in the vale of tears
then shalt thou better know his love, his heart
who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears
Be still my soul, the waves and winds still know
his voice who ruled them while he dwelt below
Be still my soul the hour is hastening on
when we shall be forever with the Lord
when disappointment, grief and fear are gone
sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still my soul, when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
Thou that hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more – a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days;
But such a heart whose pulse may be
Thy praise.
Thou that hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more – a grateful heart;
Love shine a light in every corner of my heart
Let the love light carry, let the love light carry
Light up the magic in every little part
Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts
Love shine a light in every corner of my dreams
Let the love light carry, let the love light carry
Like the mighty river, flowing from the stream
Let our love shine a light in every corner of my dreams
And we’re all gonna shine a light together
All shine a light to light the way
Brothers and sisters, in every little part
Let our love shine a light in every corner of our hearts
Love shine a light in every corner of the world
Let the love light carry, let the love light carry
Light up the magic, for every boy and girl
Let our love shine a light in every corner of the world

There’s a truth that I’ve always known
Certain as the stars are aglow
Where e’er we tread
A single thread
Will bind us closely and no matter where we go
Stitching like the fabric of all time
Knit with such an intricate design
Through night and day
Which ever path I take
And still it seems you’re with me more than I could ever know
Across the lands, beyond the years
Sharing both our joy our sorrow and our fears
Thus the story goes, and thus will always be
Stretching far beyond eternity
And so we sing with a song that’s never ending
And so it rings out across all space and time
And though we cling to the past
To the future cast our eyes
For we know we’ll always have Kizuna
The ties that bind
Certain as the changing of the tide
Ever be my guardian and my guide
O’er mountain steep
Or oceans wide and deep
You’ll stay with me,
A friend who is forever at my side
Pre-chorus
Across the lands, beyond the years
Sharing both our joy our sorrow and our fears
Thus the story goes, and thus will always be
Stretching far beyond eternity
And so we sing with a song that’s never ending
And so it rings out across all space and time
And though we cling to the past
To the future cast our eyes
For we know we’ll always have Kizuna
We’ll ever sing with a song that has no ending
And so it rings out across all space and time
And though we cling to the past
To the future cast our eyes
For we know we’ll always have Kizuna
The ties that bind
I followed a bird to the sea shore
And I saw more in considered flight
They took to the sky in a sequence
Like imprints of my toes in sand
They turned all as one
And showed me how I can dream
Tread softly I heard as they circled
And go slowly, keep your hopes alight
And look to the brink of a sea change
And be certain as you take our hand
I moved with the sound
Of waves all around in step with the moon
All hope came ablaze like the thunder
And wonder like northern lights
I knew as they flew I could join them
On adventures to unknown sights
My toes in the sand
And birds in my hand chasing a dream
One small voice is all I have to sing
Though modest and gentle
I’ll be forever singing
One small song is all I have to share
Though humble and simple
Through all time it will be ringing
When I lose my way
When I’m alone without direction
Stay with me, be my comforter
And protect me from all danger and all harm
Be forever with me now and ‘til the end
Be forever my companion and my friend
One full heart is all I’ll ever need
For loving and serving
To show compassion and forgiving
One full life is all I long to lead
And sing of my gladness
That in your radiance I’ll be living
Lifegiving love, dream you of
Ever long in your heart, dream you of
When under dark clouds walking without an end in sight
I will to you, as a shelter, promise a place of light
When in the wilderness searching, thirsty and all alone
I will appear an oasis, easing your weary bones.
O lux de lumine
Redemptor saeculi
Laudes sumere
When under strain of battle, faltering in the fight
I will enfold you in armour, follow you through the night
The lark’s last song is o’er the meadow sweeping
in homage now to thee
The parting call he’s ardently completing
with golden filigree
The head is lifted high, the melody sublime,
a beauteous lustre blooming now, blooming now,
blooming now from the tallest bough
The lark’s last song is sorely only fleeting
yet lingers on after fading away
The sound is gone but never truly lost
within us it shall remain
He takes no more to flight, now sings his lullaby
now sings the lullaby that carries him to eternal rest
What greater joy.
What greater joy I’ll find like no other
to breathe my last for another
no greater joy than to breathe my last in joyous song to thee
So my last song when time it comes to singing
will cherish the heart of thee
Let all fall soft and fall together still
to hear the words I longed to speak to thee
When the evening comes and day is done
When tomorrow seems so far, far away
If you cry for what has gone, or fear for what’s to come
Still the dawn will wake another day
As the shadows of the night appear
And regret and sorrow sigh you to sleep
All the things that might have been, that never were foreseen
Still the dawn is never far away
Always there, at your side, in the whispers of the night
I’ll be there every day, in the mist of morning light
Then the song we shall sing lasts for all time
As the clouds will pass away and the night turns to day
I’ll be there
Ego sum resurrection et vita
Qui credit in me, non morietur in aeternum
I am the resurrection and the life
Who believeth in me though dead shall have life
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat
Et aeternum habeas requiem
And all who live and believeth in me
They shall never die but live eternally
Within a dream I heard you call my name
An everlasting voice that is unchanged
From the beginning to the end of things
O come and carry me upon your winds
O come and carry me away
Requiem aeternam dona eis domine
Et omnis qui vivit et credit non morietur in aeternum.
Music was born to help the world go round
Born to adorn it with a sweet sound
Music to me is all we want it to be
For music is there to help all us to see
The things we may not always see
And music I know will help the world to grow
(Showing us places dreamers all dream of,
Sending us heavenwards leading us forward
Sharing its beauty giving us new hope)
Music moves on and thought it moves slow
(Wandering onwards, making new mem’ries
Taking us on to happy tomorrows)
Music will show the way to things we don’t know
It’s there for you and for me, it loves us all equally
