FUM, FUM, FUM

(DECEMBER 25TH)

On this joyful Christmas Day

Sing fum, fum, fum

On this joyful Christmas Day

Sing fum, fum, fum

For a blessed Babe was born

Upon this day at the break of morn

In a manger poor and lowly

Lay the Son of God most holy

Fum, Fum, Fum!

Thanks to God for holidays

Sing fum, fum, fum

Now we all our voices raise

And sing a song of grateful praise

Celebrate in song and story

All the wonders of His glory

Fum, fum, fum

A CHILD IS BORN IN BETHLEHEM

A Child is Born in Bethlehem,

In Bethlehem;

And joy is in Jerusalem,

Allelujah! Allelujah!

A lowly maiden all alone,

So all alone,

Gave birth to God’s own Holy Son.

Allelujah! Allelujah!

She chose a manger for His bed,

For Jesus’ bed.

God’s angels sang for joy o’erhead,

Allelujah! Allelujah!

Give thanks and praise eternally,

Eternally,

To God, the Holy Trinity.

Allelujah! Allelujah!

ENGLISH LYRICS

ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT

Sleep my child and peace attend thee,

All through the night

Guardian angels God will send thee,

All through the night

Soft the drowsy hours are creeping

Hill and vale in slumber steeping,

I my loving vigil keeping

All through the night.

While the moon her watch is keeping

All through the night

While the weary world is sleeping

All through the night

O’er thy spirit gently stealing

Visions of delight revealing

Breathes a pure and holy feeling

All through the night.

Teulu’r nefoedd mewn tawelwch

Angels from the realms of glory,

Wing your flight o’er all the earth;

Ye who sang creation’s story,

Now proclaim Messiah’s birth:

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the newborn King!

Shepherds, in the fields abiding,

Watching o’er your flocks by night,

God with man is now residing,

Yonder shines the infant Light;

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the newborn King!

Sages, leave your contemplations,

Brighter visions beam afar;

Seek the great desire of nations,

Ye have seen His natal star;

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the newborn King!

Saints before the altar bending,

Watching long in hope and fear,

Suddenly the Lord, descending,

In His temple shall appear:

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the newborn King!

ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o’er the plains

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly, sweetly through the night

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their brief delight

Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heavenly song?

Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing,

Come, adore on bended knee,

Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Angels we have heard

Angels we have heard on high

Angels we have heard, oh

Angels we have heard on high

Angels we have heard on high

Angels we have heard on high

In excelsis Deo.

SCOTCH LYRICS

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

and never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

and auld lang syne?[a]

For auld lang syne, my jo,

for auld lang syne,

we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup!

and surely I’ll be mine!

And we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes,

and pou’d the gowans fine;

But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,

sin’ auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,

frae morning sun till dine;[b]

But seas between us braid hae roar’d

sin’ auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere!

and gie’s a hand o’ thine!

And we’ll tak’ a right gude-willie waught,

for auld lang syne.
