Year 1: List of all the Nativity songs!
Everyone is doing so well in preparation for our Nativity performance. Here is a list of all the Nativity songs to work on at home. If you are a narrator make sure you are having a go at learning your lines off by heart.
Silent Night
Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round young virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
On the road to Bethlehem
On the road to Bethlehem
To Bethlehem, to Bethlehem
On the road to Bethlehem,
Come and join us there
On the road to Bethlehem
To Bethlehem, to Bethlehem
On the road to Bethlehem,
Come and join us there
Hear the angels sing, and church bells ring.
Its Christmas time once more
Come and see the baby king
Lying in the straw
Hear the angels sing, and church bells ring.
Its christmas time once more
Come and see the baby king
Knock upon his door
Knock Knock Knock!
On the road to Bethlehem
To Bethlehem, to Bethlehem
On the road to Bethlehem,
Come and join us there
On the road to Bethlehem
To Bethlehem, to Bethlehem
On the road to Bethlehem,
Come and join us there
Come and join us there, good to see you. Hope to see you there…!
Little Donkey
Little donkey, little donkey
On the dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards
With your precious load.
Been a long time, little donkey
Through the winter’s night
Don’t give up now, little donkey
Bethlehem’s in sight.
Chorus
Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Little donkey, little donkey
Had a heavy day
Little donkey
Carry Mary, safely on her way.
Mary had a baby
Mary had a baby, oh lord
Mary had a baby oh my lord
Mary had a baby oh lord
The people keep a coming and the train has gone.
Laid him in a manger, oh lord.
Laid him in a manger oh my lord,
Laid him in a manger oh lord
The people keep a coming and the train has gone.
Shepherds came to see him, oh lord
Shepherds came to see him oh my lord,
Shepherds came to see him oh lord,
The people keep a coming and the train has gone.
Named him baby Jesus, oh lord
Named him baby Jesus, oh my lord
Named him baby Jesus, oh lord
The people keep a coming and the train has gone.
Shepherds Dance
Shepherds, tell me
Did you see what I saw?
I saw angels
I can’t be so sure!
Shepherds, tell me
Did you hear what I heard?
I heard good news,
News for all the world!
Come on boy’s, let’s make a move
We’re off to Bethlehem! (Repeat)
Shepherds, tell me
Why are you in a trance?
Come on! Wake up!
On your feet and dance.
Come on boy’s, let’s make a move
We’re off to Bethlehem! (Repeat)
INSTRUMENTAL DANCE
Come on boy’s, let’s make a move
We’re off to Bethlehem! (Repeat)
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a happy new year!
Glad tidings we bring,
To you and your kin,
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a happy new year!
(Repeat)
