WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND
SLEIGH BELLS RING, ARE YOU LISTENING
IN THE LANE SNOW IS GLISTENING
A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT, WE'RE HAPPY TONIGHT
WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND
GONE AWAY IS THE BLUEBIRD
HERE TO STAY IS THE NEW BIRD
HE SINGS A LOVE SONG AS WE GO ALONG
WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND
CHORUS 1:
IN THE MEADOW WE CAN BUILD A SNOWMAN
THEN PRETEND THAT HE IS PARSON BROWN
HE'LL SAY, "ARE YOU MARRIED?"--WE'LL SAY, "NO, MAN
BUT YOU CAN DO THE JOB WHEN YOU'RE IN TOWN"
LATER ON WE'LL CONSPIRE
AS WE DREAM BY THE FIRE
TO FACE UNAFRAID THE PLANS THAT WE MADE
WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND
CHORUS 2:
IN THE MEADOW WE CAN BUILD A SNOWMAN
AND PRETEND THAT HE'S A CIRCUS CLOWN
WE'LL HAVE LOTS OF FUN WITH MR. SNOWMAN
UNTIL THE OTHER KIDDIES KNOCK HIM DOWN

WHAT CHILD IS THIS
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 GUARD AND ANGELS SING
HASTE, HASTE TO BRING HIM LAUD
THE BABE, THE SON OF MARY
WHY LIES HE IN SUCH MEAN ESTATE
WHERE OX AND ASS ARE FEEDING
GOOD CHRISTIAN FEAR FOR SINNERS HERE
THE SILENT WORD IS PLEADING
NAILS, SPEAR SHALL PIERCE HIM THROUGH
THE CROSS BE BORNE FOR ME AND YOU
HAIL, HAIL TO WORD MADE FLESH
THE BABE, THE SON OF MARY
SO BRING HIM INCENSE, GOLD, AND MYRRH
COME PEASANT KING TO OWN HIM
THE KING OF KINGS SALVATION BRINGS
LET LOVING HEARTS ENTHRONE HIM
RAISE, RAISE THE SON ON HIGH
THE VIRGIN SINGS HER LULLABY
JOY, JOY FOR CHRIST IS BORN
THE BABE, THE SON OF MARY

WHITE CHRISTMAS
I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS
JUST LIKE THE ONE I USED TO KNOW
WHERE THE TREE TOPS GLISTEN AND CHILDREN LISTEN
TO HEAR SLEIGH BELLS IN THE SNOW
I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS
WITH EVERY CHRISTMAS CARD I WRITE
MAY YOUR DAYS BE MERRY AND BRIGHT
AND MAY ALL YOUR CHRISTMASES BE WHITE
