24th Christmas Carol - Joy To the World

Song for today: "Joy To The World"...

Did you know that “Joy to the World” was not written as a Christmas carol? In its original form, it had nothing to do with Christmas. It wasn’t even written to be a song. In 1719, Isaac Watts published a book of poems in which each poem was based on a Psalm 98, 96:11–12 and Genesis 3:17–18 as a celebration of Jesus’s role as King of both his church and the whole world.
More than a century later, the second half of this poem was slightly adapted and set to music to give us what has become one of the most famous of all Christmas carols:

Joy to the world! The Lord is come. Let earth receive her King. Let every heart prepare Him room. And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing, and heaven, and heaven and nature sing. Joy to the world! The Savior reigns. Let men their songs employ while fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains. Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground. He comes to make His blessings flow far as the curse is found, far as the curse is found, far as, far as the curse is found. He rules the world with truth and grace and makes the nations prove the glories of His righteousness. And wonders of His love, and wonders of His love, and wonders, wonders of His love…

22nd Christmas Carol - Mary's Boy Child

Song for today: "Mary’s Boy Child'…

Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day. And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day. Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say, Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day. Hark now hear the angels sing, a king was born today. And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day. Mary’s baby boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.

While shepherds watch their flocks by night, they see a bright new shining star. They hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar. Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today. And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day. Oh a moment still worth was a glow, all the bells rang out. There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted “let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace.”

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary came to Bethlehem that night. They found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight. And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn. And in a manger cold and dark, Mary’s little boy was born. Hark now hear the angels sing, a king was born today. And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day. Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day. Oh a moment still worth was a glow, all the bells rang out. There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted “let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace.” Oh my Lord…..

19th Christmas Carol - Suzy Snowflake

Song for today: "Suzy Snowflake"... Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett

Here comes Suzy Snowflake. Dressed in a snow-white gown. Tap, tap, tappin’ at your windowpane to tell you she’s in town. Here comes Suzy Snowflake, soon you will hear her say, “Come out ev’ryone and play with me; I haven’t long to stay.”

If you want to make a snowman, I’ll help you make one, two, three. If you wanna take a sleigh ride, the ride’s on me. Here comes Suzy Snowflake. Look at her tumblin’ down, bringing joy to ev’ry girl and boy. Suzy’s come to town.

Here comes Suzy Snowflake. Dressed in a snow-white gown. Tap, tap, tappin’ at your windowpane to tell you she’s in town. Here comes Suzy Snowflake, soon you will hear her say, “Come out ev’ryone and play with me; I haven’t long to stay.”

Rosemary Clooney · Suzy Snowflake

BONUS: Suzy is a snowflake playfully personified. It is commonly regarded as a Christmas song, although it makes no mention of the holiday. The child-oriented lyrics celebrate the fun of winter.
A cartoon short based on the song was made in 1953 by Centaur Productions, with stop-motion animation created by Wah Ming Chang. It is annually shown during the Christmas season on WGN-TV in Chicago and WJAC-TV in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, along with another production by Centaur, "Hardrock, Coco and Joe" and an early UPA version of "Frosty the Snowman".
Clooney later re-recorded the song for her 1978 Mistletoe Records album Christmas with Rosemary Clooney. It has been covered by other artists, most notably Soul Coughing in 1997. - Source: Wiki

18th Christmas Carol - What Child Is This

Song for today: “What Child Is This?”

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.

Why lies He in such mean estate where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear for sinners here the silent Word is pleading. So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, come, peasant, king, to own him. The King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone him…

No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground. He comes to make His blessings flow far as the curse is found, far as the curse is found, far as, far as the curse is found. He rules the world with truth and grace and makes the nations prove the glories of His righteousness. And wonders of His love, and wonders of His love, and wonders, wonders of His love…

God rest you merry, gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay. Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day. To save us all from Satan’s power when we were gone astray. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy. O tidings of comfort and joy!

From God our heavenly Father, a blessed angel came, and unto certain shepherds brought tiding of the same. How that in Bethlehem was born, the Son of God by name. “Fear not, then,” said the angel. “Let nothing you affright. This day is born a Savior of pure virgin to free all those who trust in Him from Satan’s power and might.”

Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place. And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace this holy tide o Christmas doth bring redeeming grace…

Silent night, holy night. Son of God, love’s pure light. Radiant beams from thy holy face. With the dawn of redeeming grace. Jesus, Lord at they birth, Jesus Lord at thy birth…

14th Christmas Carol - Away In A Manger

Song for today: "Away In A Manger"... Away in a manger, no crib for his bed. The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay. The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love the Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky. And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

13th Christmas Carol - Happy Christmas (War is over)

Song for today: "Happy Christmas" ... John Lennon and Yoko Ono

So this is Christmas / And what have you done / Another year over / And a new one just begun / And so this is Christmas / I hope you have fun / The near and the dear one / The old and the young

A very Merry Christmas / And a happy new year / Let's hope it's a good one / Without any fear

And so this is Christmas / For weak and for strong / For rich and the poor ones / The world is so wrong / And so happy Christmas / For black and for white / For yellow and red one / Let's stop all the fight

John Lennon and Yoko Ono recorded this with the Harlem Community Choir as a protest song against the Vietnam War, and it eventually became a classic Christmas hit.

12th Christmas Carol - Run Rudolph Run

Song for today: "Run Rudolph Run"… Chuck Berry

Out of all the reindeers you know you’re the mastermind. Run, run Rudolph ain’t too far behind. Run, run Rudolph Santa’s got to make it to town. Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down. Run, run Rudolph ’cause I’m reelin’ like a merry-go-round.

Said Santa to a boy child, “What have you been longing for?” “All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar.” And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star. Run, run Rudolph, Santa’s got to make it to town, come on. Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down. Run, run Rudolph, reeling like a merry-go-round.

Said Santa to a girl child, “What would please you most to get?” “A little baby doll that can cry, sleep and wet?” And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet. Run, run Rudolph, Santa’s got to make it to town. Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down. Run, run Rudolph ’cause I’m reelin’ like a merry-go-round……

 

This Is American Music · Run Run Rudolph [Chuck Berry]

BONUS: Why Is It Called "Run Rudolph Run" ?

"Run Rudolph Run" is a Christmas song written by Chuck Berry but credited to Johnny Marks and M. Brodie due to Marks' trademark on the character of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It was published by St. Nicholas Music (ASCAP) and was first recorded by Berry in 1958, released as a single on Chess Records.

Chuck Berry - Run Rudolph Run (Official Video) - The Run Rudolph Run official video is an animated presentation of Santa Claus and Chuck Berry traveling the world delivering toys, via Chuck’s St. Louis hometown, hitting the best-known spots of the city along the way.

11th Christmas Carol - Silver Bells

Song for today: "Silver Bells"…

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style. In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile and on every street corner you’ll hear. Silver bells, silver bells, it’s Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them sing, soon it will be Christmas day.

Strings of street lights, even stop lights. Blink a bright red and green as the shoppers rush home with their treasures. Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch. This is Santa’s big scene and above all this bustle you’ll hear. Silver bells, silver bells, it’s Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them sing, soon it will be Christmas day…..
