When My Heart Finds Christmas

O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pinning
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angels voices
O night divine
O night when christ was born
O night divine, o night, o night divine

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the wise men from orient land

The king of king's lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
He knows our need
Our weakness 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 shall he break for the slave is our brother
And in his name all oppression cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise his holy name
Christ is the lord
Oh praise his name forever
His pow'r and glory
Ever more proclaim
His pow'r and glory ever more proclaim

Hey kids!
You know dasher and dancer and prancer and vixen
Comet and cupid and donner and blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy christmas eve
Santa came to say
"rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight"

Then how the reindeers loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history"

Then one foggy christmas eve
Santa came to say
"rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight"

Then how the reindeers loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history"

The toy shop door is locked up tight
And everything is quiet for the night
When suddenly
The clock strikes twelve
The fun's begun

The dolls are in their best arrayed
There's going to be a wonderful parade
Hark to the drum
Oh, here they come
Cries everyone

Hear them all cheering
Now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonet's flashing
Music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Sabers a-clinking
Soldiers a-winking
At each little pretty maid

Here they come, here they come
Here they come, here they come
Wooden soldiers on parade

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And i brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good-night
How i'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home i'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good-night
How i'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home i'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

What child is this who laid to rest
On mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping

This, this is christ the king
Whom shepherds guard
And angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of mary

Raise, raise the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for christ is born
The babe, the son of mary

I think i saw ol' santa through my window christmas eve
My eyes were really droopy but i really do believe
It must've been ol' santa 'cause i saw his big red hat
And i know my mom and dad can't fly like that

And then i heard some footsteps in the hall outside my door
The same ol' christmas trick my dad had played since i was four
He stands outside my bedroom yelling "ho! ho! ho!" because
He knows i don't believe in santa claus

I think my daddy sees me
Peeking from my door
But he pretends he's santa anyway
Every year he tries to fool me
But i'm a big boy now i don't believe in santa or his sleigh...
No way!

So i went back to bed and i curled up nice and tight
I stared out my window and looked into the night
And then, all of a sudden, through my window i could see
Santa claus was flying by and smiling at me

Chorus:
Santa claus, santa claus
It must've been ol' santa claus
Santa claus, santa claus
Happy "ho! ho! ho!" to you

Then i heard ol' rudolph tellin' me to come outside
He told me that ol' santa wanted me to take a ride
I climbed out of my window and i jumped onto his sleigh
Then ol' santa took me up up and away

We flew high above the rooftops of my sleepy town below
I saw my big red school house and the town square picture show
It was really past my bedtime and so ol' santa said
"little boys like you should be in bed"

So i hollered "ho! ho! ho!"
And i put on santa's hat
Then he let me hold the reins awhile
We pulled up to my window
And i jumped back in my room
And i waved goodbye to santa with a smile

When i woke up christmas morning it was clear and bright
My parents said my window had blown open in the night
I smiled as i told them that it must've been the cat
And they asked me where i got my big red hat

Chorus
