O Holy Night

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, the night when Christ was born O night, O holy night, O night divine! O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land The King of kings lay thus lowly manger In all our trials born to be our friends He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another His law is love and His gospel is peace Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother And in his name all oppression shall cease Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we With all our hearts we praise His holy name Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we His power and glory ever more proclaim! His power and glory ever more proclaim!
O Jesulein zart, dein Kripplein ist hart O Jesulein zart, wie liegst du so hart! Schlaf, Kind, schlaf, tu die Äuglein zu schlaf und gib uns die ewige Ruh! O Jesulein zart, dein Kripplein ist hart!
Schlaf, Jesulein, wohl nichts hindern soll Ochs, Esel und Schaf sind alle im Schlaf Schlaf, Kind, schlaf. Tu die Äuglein zu schlaf und gib uns die ewige Ruh! Schlaf, Jesulein, wohl, nichts hindern soll
Die Seraphim sing'n und Cherubim kling'n viel Engel im Stall, die wiegen dich all Schlaf, Kind, schlaf Tu die Äuglein zu schlaf und gib uns die ewige Ruh! Viel Engel im Stall, die wiegen dich all

Savoir Vivre Composer(s): Michel Berger Performer(s): France Gall
C'est une fête, ce moment de rien du tout Ces couleurs, cette pluie qui nous tombe dessus Et toi qui souris Juste parce que c'est toi Juste parce que c'est moi Parce que c'est la vie C'est une fête d'être là Loin des grands champs de bataille Un détail C'est l'amour qui remplace la haine Et qui change tous nos problème Et qui change tout L'important c'est sans doute De s'en rendre compte, et de
Savoir vivre, savoir vivre Savoir maîtriser cet instant qui passe Savoir mépriser le temps et l'espace Savoir vivre, savoir vivre
Comme c'est bien cette musique Qui nous fait tenir debout Sur des fils électriques sur lesquels on danse Et qui nous emmènent Dans un monde meilleur Et qu'elle passe, qu'elle s'efface Qu'elle ne laisse rien du tout Qu'est-ce que ça peut faire Quelle affaire Si demain tout est perdu Du moment qu'on a vécu Le secret c'est sans doute De s'en rendre compte, et de
Savoir vivre, savoir vivre Puisque le présent est déjà passé Faire un pied de nez à l'éternité Savoir vivre, savoir vivre Se serrer très fort avant de se quitter S'étreindre avant de s'éteindre Savoir vivre, savoir vivre Savoir vivre, savoir vivre Oublier tout, tout, tout Savoir vivre

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them victory over the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
And drive away the shades of night
And pierce the clouds and bring us light!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times once gave the law
In cloud, and majesty, and awe
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
I'm Saving Up For Sally Composer(s): Eric Maschwitz; George Posford Performer(s): George Formby
I may be rather careful, a little slow to spend Don't often push the boat out and I haven't cash to lend It's not that I'm a meanie or spending comes amiss I'll tell you confidentially folks the reason for it is
I'm saving up for Sally, I'm saving for a rainy day I save what I can spare, a penny here and there And just to keep us off the rocks I pop it in my money box Oh! I'm not the lad to dally, of Sally I'm as proud as I can be It's a lovely thing to be her beau but all the same I'd like to know If Sally's saving up a bit for me
I haven't popped the question or asked her to be mine But Sally's such a darling I'll have to draw the line It may be any minute, I hope she'll say I will But till I've plucked my courage up I'll keep on saving still
'Cause I'm saving up for Sally, I'm saving for a honeymoon I've got to buy a ring, a mattress with a spring There's one thing that I have to get, a nice new shiny bassinette Oh! I'm not the lad to dally, of Sally I'm as proud as I can be But before I go to that expense I'd like to know in self defence If Sally's saving up a bit for me
I'm not the lad to dally, of Sally I'm as proud as I can be It's a lovely thing to be her beau but all the same I'd like to know If Sally's saving up a bit for me
O Come Little Children German Title: Ihr Kindelein Kommet Composer(s): Christoph von Schmidt; Johann Schulz
O come, little children, O come, one and all To Bethlehem haste, to the manger so small Gods Son for a gift has been sent you this day To be your redeemer, your joy and delight
The hay is His pillow, the manger His bed The beasts stand in wonder to gaze on His head Yet there where He lieth, so weak and so poor Come shepherds and wise men to kneel at His door
Hes born in a stable for you and for me Draw near by the bright gleaming starlight to see In swaddling clothes lying so meek and so mild And purer than angels the heavenly child
See Mary and Joseph with love beaming eyes Are gazing upon the rude bed where He lies The shepherds are kneeling, with hearts full of love While angels sing loud hallelujahs above
Kneel down and adore Him with shepherds today Lift up little hands now and praise Him as they Rejoice that a Savior from sin you can boast And join in the song of the heavenly host
Now "Glory to God!" sing the angels on high And "Peace upon Earth!" heavenly voices reply Then come little children, and join in the day That gladdened the world on that first Christmas Day

You used to tell me we'd run away together Love gives you the right to be free You said be patient just wait a little longer But that's just an old fantasy
I've got to get ready just a few minutes more Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door 'Cause tonight is the night for I feeling all right We'll be making love the whole night through So I'm saving all my love for you Yes I'm saving all my love Yes I'm saving all my love for you

I cried for you, I cried for you I cried for two, I lied for you
Saved by the bell on your own carousel Now who can tell, if you'll love that man as well Now I'll walk down our great lane
I died for you, I died for two I'll live for you, I'll give to you
Saved by the bell on your own carousel Now who can tell, if you'll love that man as well Now I'll walk down our great lane Now I'll walk down our great lane Now I'll walk down our great lane

"One cold and blessed winter In ancient Bethelem A Child was born to save us Sing 'Halleluyah, amen Tu scendi dalle stelle O Re del cielo E vieni in'una grotta Al freddo, al gielo O Bambino, mio divino Io ti vedo qui tremar O Dio beato O quanto ti costo la vermi amato"
When I wake up in the morning And the 'larm gives out a warning I don't think I'll ever make it on time By the time I grab my books And I give myself a look I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the bell
If the teacher pops a test I know I'm in a mess And my dog ate all my homework last nite Riding low in my chair She won't know that I'm there If I can hand it in tomorrow, it'll be all right It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the bell It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the bell
It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the bell
Go on out and gain the world But don't you lose your soul While you're trying Your truth is changing every day But your heart will let you Know when you're lying Well, you're running Running from me now Running like you've got a race to win Now you tell me our romance is over Time for you to start again
Save your love and tenderness Don't get lost in bitterness Save the dreams you had when we started Do the things you have to do But don't forget the love we knew Don't lose your love 'cause we've parted
You say you can't tell right from wrong Confusion's pulled the reins tight in your soul Tight in your soul Think it's all going to make sense That accomplishments are gonna make you whole Following Following confusion Running from someone who looks like me Stop and take a look inside you Now you tell me who it is you see
Save your love and tenderness Don't get lost in bitterness Save the dreams you had when we started Do the things you have to do But don't forget the love we knew Don't lose your love 'cause we've parted
