Little drummer boy

Come, they told me
Pa ra pa pa pum
A new born King to see
Pa ra pa pa pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa ra pa pa pum
To lay before the King
Pa ra pa pa pum,
Ra pa pa pum,
Ra pa pa pum
So to honour Him
Pa ra pa pa pum
When we come.

2. Little baby
Pa ra pa pa pum
I am a poor boy too
Pa ra pa pa pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa ra pa pa pum
That’s fit to give our King
Pa ra pa pa pum,
Ra pa pa pum,
Ra pa pa pum
Shall I play for you
Pa ra pa pa pum
On my drum.

Drummer boy

3. Mary nodded
Pa ra pa pa pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa ra pa pa pum
I played my drum for Him
Pa ra pa pa pum
I played my best for Him
Pa ra pa pa pum,
Ra pa pa pum,
Ra pa pa pum
Then He smiled at me
Pa ra pa pa pum
Me and my drum.

A Little town of Betlehem

1. O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in the dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.

2. For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wond’ring love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth!

3. How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is giv’n!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heav’n.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him, still,
The dear Christ enters in.

4. O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us today!
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel!
