The looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth in gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
refrain
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
refrain
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlelem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
refrain
Then entered in those wise men three
Full rev'rently upon their knee
And offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh and frankincense
refrain
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord
That hath made heav'n and earth of naught
And with his blood mankind hath bought

ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID'S CITY
Henry John Gauntlett
Intro:
[F] [C7] [F] [Bb] [C] [F] [F] [C7] [F]
[F]Once [C7]in [F]royal [C]David's cit[F]y, stoo[Dm]d a [F]lowly [Bb]cat[C]tle [F]shed,
where[C7] a [F]mother [G7]laid her [C7]bab[F]y in[Dm] a [F]manger [Bb]for [C]His [F]bed.
[Bb]Mary [F]was that [Csus4]mo - t[C]her [F]mild, [Bb]Jesus [F]Christ her [Bb]litt[C]le [F]child.
[F]He [C7]came [F]down to [C]earth from hea[F]ven, Wh[Dm]o is [F]God and[Bb] Lo[C]rd of[F] all,
And H[C7]is [F]shelter [G7]was a [C7]stab[F]le, a[Dm]nd His [F]cradle [Bb]was [C]a s[F]tall;
[Bb]With [F]the poor [Csus4]and me[C]ek and [F]lowly, l[Bb]ived on [F]earth our [Bb]savi[C]or [F]holy.
[F]And t[C7]hrough [F]all His [C]wondrous child[F]hood, [Dm]he [F]would [Bb]hon[C]or and [F]obey,
Love [C7]and [F]watch t[G7]he [C7]low[F]ly mother, [Dm]in whose [F]gent[Bb]le a[C]rms He [F]lay.
[Bb]Chris[F]tian chil[Csus4]dren a[C]ll should [F]be, [Bb]mild, [F]obedient, g[Bb]ood [C]as [F]He.
[F]And o[C7]ur [F]eyes at l[C]ast shall see [F]Him, t[Dm]hrou[F]gh his [Bb]own [C]redeeming [F]love.
For t[C7]hat [F]child [G7]so dear a[C7]nd gen[F]tle, [Dm]is our [F]Lord in [Bb]heave[C]n a[F]bove;
[Bb]And H[F]e leads H[Csus4]is chi[C]ldren [F]on, [Bb]to the [F]place where [Bb]he i[C]s g[F]one.
Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him, but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high;
When like stars His children crowned, all in while shall wait around.

IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR
It c[C]ame up[F]on a m[C]idnight clear
That g[F]lorious s[D7]ong of o[G7]ld
>From[C] angels [F]bending[C] near the earth
To to[F]uch their h[G7]arps of g[C]old
[E7] [AM]
"Peace on the earth, good will to men
>From h[G]eaven's [D7]all gracious[G] King;"
The w[C]orld in s[F]olemn s[C]tillness lay,
To h[F]ear the a[G7]ngels s[C]ing
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing;
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
O ye, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing

GRAMMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER

The song is in 4/4 time. Almost every note is an 1/8 note. When you see 0^2 it
means play the string open then quickly hammer on at the 2nd fret. It is
called a grace note. The hammer should fall on the beat.

Additional Lyrics
Verse2
Now we're all so proud of grandpa
He's been taking this so well
See him in there watching footbal
drinking beer and playing cards with Cousin Mel
It's not Christmas without Grandma
All the family's dressed in black
and we just can't help but wonder
Should we open up her gifts or send them back.
verse 3.
Now the goose is on the table
and the pudding made of fig
and the blue and silver candles
that would just have matched the hair on grandma's wig
I've warned all my friends and neighbors
better watch out for yourselves
they should never give a license
to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.
