Slient Night 《平安夜》

　　This carol was written in 1818, in the Tyrolean village of Hallein, by the local church organist Franz Gruber and a schoolmaster called Joseph Mohr. This resulted in one of the most popular of all carols.

　　1818年在奥地利一个名叫奥本多夫的小镇上住着一个默默无闻的乡村神父——摩尔。这年圣诞节，摩尔发现教堂里的管风琴被老鼠咬坏了，修理已经来不及了。怎么庆祝圣诞呢？摩尔为此闷闷不乐。他忽然想起《路加福音》里记载着，耶稣降生时，天使向白冷郊外的牧羊人报佳音后，高唱颂歌："天主受享荣福于天，良人受享太平于地。"他灵机一动，根据这两句经文写成一首赞美诗，取名《平安夜》。摩尔写好歌词后拿给本镇小学教师葛路伯看，请他谱曲。葛路伯读完歌词很受感动，谱好曲，第二天在教堂里演唱，大受欢迎。

　　后来有两个商人路过这里，学会了这首歌，他们为普鲁士国王威廉四世演唱，威廉四世听后大加赞赏，下令把《平安夜》定为全国教堂过圣诞节时必唱的歌曲之一。于是，这首不朽的作品一直传唱至今。

　　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

　　Silent night, holy night!

　　Shepherds quake at the sight

　　Glories stream from Heaven afar

　　Heav\'nly host sing Alleluia

　　Christ the Saviour, is born

　　Christ the Saviour, is born

　　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 thy birth

　　Jesus, Lord, at thy birth

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why: Santa Claus is coming to town!

He's making a list, He's checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice. Santa Claus is coming to town! He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake. He knows when you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!

So...You better watch out, You better not cry You better not pout, I'm Telling you why. Santa Claus is coming to town. Little tin horns, little toy drums. Rudy-toot-toot and rummy tum tums. Santa Claus is coming to town.

Little toy dolls that cuddle and coo, Elephants, boats and Kiddie cars too. Santa Claus is coming to town.

The kids in Girl and boy land will have a jubilee. They're gonna build a toy land town all around the Christmas tree.

Ohh....You better watch out, you better not cry. You better not pout, I'm telling you why. Santa Claus is coming to town. O Holy Night

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining. Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, the night when Christ was born; O night, O holy night, O night divine! O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming, Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land. The King of kings lay thus lowly manger; In all our trials born to be our friends. He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger, Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother. And in his name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, With all our hearts we praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we, His power and glory ever more proclaim! His power and glory ever more proclaim!
