Irving Berlin
Overture (An Old-Fashioned Christmas)
Happy Holidays
The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay tending their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Refrain
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
They lookèd up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Refrain
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
Glory Gloria
In excelsios Deo
