Christmas Carols: Deck The Halls / Away In A Manger / I Saw Three Ships
[Part I: Deck The Halls]
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
See the blazing Yule before us
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
While I tell of Yuletide treasure
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
[Part II: Away In A Manger]
Away in a manger, no crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep in the hay
The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by the cradle till morning is nigh
[Part III: I Saw Three Ships]
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, in the morning
Pray whither sailed those ships all three?
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Pray whither sailed those ships all three?
On Christmas day, in the morning
Oh, they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Oh, they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas day, in the morning
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas day, in the morning
