The first good joy that Christmas brings it is the joy of one.
To see the star of Bethlehem that shone on Mary's Son.
That shone on Mary's son good friends, that shone on Mary's Son

To see the star of Bethlehem, that shone on Mary's son.

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


The next good joy that Christmas brings it is the joy of two.
When carols ring on Christmas day, to tell the tale anew.

To tell the tale anew, good friends, to tell the tale anew.
When carols ring on Christmas day, to tell the tale anew.


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 Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.


The next good joy that Christmas brings it is the joy of three.
Of wise men coming with their gifts, the holy child to see.
The holy child to see good friends, the holy child to see.

Of wise men coming with their gifts, the holy child to see.

The next good joy that Christmas brings it is the joy of four.

Of shepherds keeping watch that night, beside the stable door.

[Music]


Of shepherds keeping watch that night, beside the stable door.


The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where 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!


The bravest joy that Christmas brings it is the joy of five.
The message of good will to men for ever kept alive.

For ever kept alive good friends, for ever kept alive.
The message of good will to men for ever kept alive.
