Good King Wenceslas<\/h3>\r\nGood King Wenceslas looked out\r\n\r\nOn the feast of Stephen\r\nWhen the snow lay round about\r\nDeep and crisp and even\r\nBrightly shone the moon that night\r\nThough the frost was cruel\r\nWhen a poor man came in sight\r\nGath\u2019ring winter fuel\r\n\r\nHither, page and stand by me\r\nIf thou know\u2019st it, telling\r\nYonder peasant, who is he?\r\nWhere and what his dwelling?\r\nSire, he lives a good league hence\r\nUnderneath the mountain\r\nRight against the forest fence\r\nBy Saint Agnes\u2019 foundation\r\n

Silent Night<\/h3>\r\nSilent night, Holy night\r\nAll is calm, all is bright\r\nRound yon virgin, mother and child\r\nHoly infant, tender and mild\r\nSleep in heavenly peace,\r\nSleep in heavenly peace.\r\n

O Little Town of Bethlehem<\/h3>\r\nO Little Town of Bethlehem\r\nHow still we see thee lie\r\nAbove thy deep and dreamless sleep\r\nThe silent stars go by\r\nYet in thy dark streets shineth\r\nThe everlasting Light\r\nThe hopes and fears of all the years\r\nAre met in thee tonight\r\n
