First Noel, Joy to the World, All Come All Ye Faithful
and many others. The First Noel now.
The First Noel
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 Isreael
Did you care about and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth gave great light
And so it continues both day and night

When a child is born
A ray of hope glitters in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A rosy hue settles all around
You’ve got to feel you’re on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born
And all of this happens because the world is
waiting
Waiting for one child, black, white, yellow no
one knows,
but the child that would grow up and turn tears
to laughter,
hate to love, war to peace and everyone to
everyone’s neighbour
Misery and suffering would ever be forgotten
It’s all a dream and illusion now
It must come true some time, soon, somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
Narrator: It is not possible to forget in our programme
about these two Christmas songs which
are frequently played everywhere in the Christmas
season, not only on the radio, television, but also
shopping centers, schools, kindergartens, not only
in English speaking countries but in any country
in the world. There is no point in asking which
of them is more popular, they both enjoy great
popularity. Jingle bells and White Christmas.
Jingle bells
Jingle bells Jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one
Horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow in one
Horse open sleigh over fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring making
Spirits bright what fun it is to ride and
Sing a sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells Jingle bells....
A day or two ago I thought I’d take
A ride and soon Miss Fanny bright was
Seated at my side and the horse was lean
And lank misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank and we got upset
Jingle bells Jingle bells.....
Narrator: This Boney M reggae version of White
Christmas from the eighties may sound a bit
