Clapham Primary School

Where are you Christmas?

Why can't I find you?

Why have you gone away?

Where is the laughter

You used to bring me?

Why can't I hear music play?

My world is changing

I'm rearranging

Does that mean Christmas changes too?

Where are you Christmas?

Do you remember

The one you used to know?

I'm not the same one

See what the time's done

Is that why you have let me go?

Christmas is here

Everywhere, oh

Christmas is here

If you care, oh

If there is love in your heart and your mind

You will feel like Christmas all the time, oh

I feel you Christmas

I know I've found you

You never fade away, oh

The joy of Christmas

Stays here inside us

Fills each and every heart

With love

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Everywhere you go

Take a look in the five-and-ten

Glistening once again

With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Toys in every store

But the prettiest sight to see

Is the holly that will be

On your own front door

A pair of hop-along boots and a trumpet that toots

Is the wish of Barney and Ben

Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk

Is the hope of Janice and Jen

And Mum and Dad can hardly wait for school

to start again

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Everywhere you go

There's a tree in the Grand Hotel

One in the park as well

The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Soon the bells will start

And the thing that will make them ring

Is the carol that you sing

Right within your heart

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Toys in every store

But the prettiest sight to see

Is the holly that will be

On your own front door

Sure it’s Christmas once more

Mercedes College

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light

From now on, all our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the yule-tide gay

From now on, our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together

If the fates allow

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Here we are as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together

If the fates allow

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

The First Noel the Angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields

as they lay

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel Noel Noel Noel

Born is the King of Israel!

They looked 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

Noel Noel Noel Noel

Born is the King of Israel!

And by the light of that same star

Three Wise Men came from country far

To seek for a King was their intent

And to follow the star wherever it went

Noel Noel Noel Noel

Born is the King of Israel!

This star drew nigh to the northwest

O’er Bethlehem it took it's rest

And there it did both pause and stay

Right over the place where Jesus lay

Noel Noel Noel Noel

Born is the King of Israel!

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents underneath the

Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you, yeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents underneath

the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking there upon

the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy

on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow

I'm just gonna keep on waiting underneath

the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it to the North

Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to hear those magic

reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do?

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

All the lights are shining so brightly everywhere

And the sound of children's laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?

Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just wanna see my baby standing right

outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby x4

St ­Therese School

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 “Alleluia!”

Christ the saviour is born, 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, Jesus, Lord at Thy birth

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Peace on earth, and mercy mild

God and sinners reconciled

Joyful all ye nations rise

join the triumph of the skies

With th’angelic host proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Christ by highest heaven adored

Christ the everlasting Lord

Late in time behold Him come

offspring of the Virgin’s womb

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see

hail th’incarnate Deity

Pleased as man with us to dwell

Jesus our Emmanuel

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace

hail the son of righteousness

Light and life to all He brings

risen with healing in His wings

Mild He lays His glory by

born that we no more may die

Born to raise us from the earth

born to give us second birth

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed

The little Lord, Jesus, lay down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky looked down

where He lay

The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes

But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes

I love Thee Lord Jesus, look down from the sky

And stay by my bedside ‘til morning is nigh

Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay

Close by me forever, and love me I pray

Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care

And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there

Mary, did you know that your baby boy

would one day walk on water?

Mary, did you know that your baby boy

would save our sons and daughters?

Did you know that your baby boy has come

to make you new?

This child that you delivered will soon

deliver you

Mary did you know that your baby boy will

give sight to a blind man?

Mary, did you know that your baby boy

would calm a storm with his hand?

Did you know that your baby boy has

walked where angels trod?

And when you kissed your little baby

You’ve kissed the face of God?

Oh, Mary did you know?

The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the

dead will live again

The lame will leap, the dumb will speak

The praises of the Lamb

Mary, did you know that your baby boy is

Lord of all creation?

Mary, did you know that your baby boy will

one day rule the nations?

Did you know that your baby boy was

heaven’s perfect Lamb?

And the sleeping child you’re holding is the

great I Am?

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list

And checking it twice

Gonna find out

Who's naughty and nice

Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping

He knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good, for goodness’ sake!

Oh! You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

Dashing through the snow

On a one horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bob-tail ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh and sing

A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer

Had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw it

You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer

Used to laugh and call him names

They wouldn’t let poor Rudolf

Join in any reindeer games

Then, one foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say

“Rudolf, with your nose so bright

Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then how the reindeer loved him

As they shouted out with glee

“Rudolf, the Red-nosed Reindeer

You’ll go down in history!”

We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year

Good tidings to you

And all of your kin

Good tidings for Christmas

And a Happy New Year

We all know that Santa's coming

We all know that Santa's coming

We all know that Santa's coming

And soon will be here

Good tidings to you

And all of your kin

Good tidings for Christmas

And a Happy New Year
