Name that Christmas Tune/hymn

Recommended Posts

Oh no!!!!!!!! I've killed another perfectly good thread :oops:

 

Feel free to jump in with another one :D I'll get my coat :(

 

Don't panic!

 

Your song is...

 

I want an alien for Christmas

 

(Had to google it but could tell you were feeling :anxious: hope you don't mind)

 

Try this:

 

It seems so long since I could say,

"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!"

Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be,

if I could only whistle (thhhh, thhhh)

"Joy to the World"? A lovely hymn, very stirring!

 

Ok, how about ...

"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 his brother

And in his name all oppression shall cease."

 

Another really rousing one - but I'm guessing that unless you've actually sung it, you won't pick up those lines!

easy peasy, I am singing this on Saturday (and our choir director decided that Soprano II would sing the top line instead of Soprano I, so for once I get the words!) :D

 

Another absolutely beautiful Christmas hymn (especially in four-part harmony) ... Gabriel's Message.

 

OK ....

 

"O Jesu parvule, I yearn for thee alway

Hear me I beseech thee O puer optime"

That's easy too!

 

In dulci jubilo

 

I love the Pearson setting in two choirs, but I also like the Rutter arrangement.

 

Try this:

'Glorious now, behold him arise

King and God and sacrifice'

Try this one! :?

 

"O come, Thou Key of David, come,

And open wide our heavenly home;

Make safe the way that leads on high,

And close the path to misery."

 

Ooh, I know this one! It's O Come O Come Emmanuel, one of my favourite Christmas Carols.

 

Here's the next one:

 

Peace on Earth, can it be

Years from now, perhaps we'll see

See the day of glory

See the day, when men of good will

Live in peace, live in peace again
