“Богородице Дево”
“Bogoroditse devo, radujsia”
from Three Sacred Hymns
Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos,
Mary full of grace, the Lord is with Thee�
Blessed art Thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,
for Thou hast borne the Savior of our souls�
Богородице Дево, радуйся,
благодатная Марие, Господь с тобою�
Благословена ты в женах,
и благословен плод чрева твоего,
яко Спаса родила еси душ наших�
Coventry Carol
His men of might, in his own sight,
All young children to slay�
That woe is me, poor child for thee,
And ever morn and day
for Thy parting neither say nor sing�
By, by lully lullay
Lully lulla, thou little tiny child,
By, by lully lullay
thou little tiny child,
By, by lully lullay�
Lully lulla, thou little tiny child,
By, by lully lullay
thou little tiny child,
By, by lully lullay�
O, sisters too how may we do,
For to preserve this day;
this poor Youngling for whom we do sing,
By, by lully lullay�
Herod the king in his raging
Charged he hath this day;
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
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 heav’nly Father
A blessed Angel came;
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same:
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by Name�
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy�
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a feeding
In tempest, storm and wind:
And went to Bethlehem straightway
The Son of God to find�
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy�
Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth efface�
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy�
O tidings of comfort and joy�
And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Saviour lay,
They found Him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;
His Mother Mary kneeling down,
Unto the Lord did pray�
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy�

“Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Божий “
“Gospodi Iisuse Khrisste”
from Three Sacred Hymns
Lord Jesus Christ,
Son of God,
have mercy on me,
the sinner�
Господи
Иисусе Христе,
Сыне Божий,
помилуй мя грешного�
The First Nowell
The first Nowell the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel�
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 wheresoever it went:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel�
They looked up and saw a star,
Shining in the east beyond them far:
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel�
Then entered in those Wise Men three,
Fell reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel�
The Twelve Days of Christmas
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three french hens,
Two turtle doves,
and a partridge in a pear tree�
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,

A Christmas Festival
Joy to the world, the Lord is come;
let earth receive her King�
Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room,
and heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n, and heaven and nature sing�
Deck the hall with boughs of holly�
Fa la la la la la la la la.
’Tis the season to be jolly�
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel�
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Toll the ancient yuletide carol�
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Deck the hall with boughs of holly�
Fa la la la la la la la la.
’Tis the season to be jolly�
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel�
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Toll the ancient yuletide carol�
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King;
peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!”
Joyful, all ye nations rise,
join the triumph of the skies;
with angelic hosts proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King�”
God rest ye merry, gentlemen;
let nothing you dismay�
Remember, Christ our Saviour
was born on Christmas day
to save us all from Satan’s pow’r
when we were gone astray�
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy�
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy�
Silent night, holy night,
all is calm, all is bright
’round yon Virgin mother and child�
Holy infant so tender and mild,
sleep in heavenly peace,
sleep in heavenly peace�
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way;
oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse, open sleigh, hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way;
oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse, open sleigh�
Dashing through the snow in a one-horse, open sleigh,
o’er the fields we go laughing all the way: “Ha, ha, ha!”
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright;
what fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight�
Glory to God; Glory in the highest!
Oh, come let us adore Him�
Oh, come let us adore Him�
Oh, come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord�
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way�
Jingle, jingle bells, jingle all the way�
Happy holidays!
