v1 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. v2 Silent night, holy night Shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar. Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia Christ the Savior is born Christ the Savior is born. v3 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.

v1 O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem! Come, and behold Him, born the King of angels! refrain O come, let us adore Him; O come, let us adore Him; O come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord! v2 God of God, Light of Light, lo, He abhors not the virgin's womb; very God, begotten not created. v3 Sing, choirs of angels; sing in exultation; sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above! Glory to God, all glory in the highest! v4 Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning; Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv'n! Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing!

v1 Christmastime is here; Happiness and cheer. Fun for all that children call Their favorite time of year. v2 Snowflakes in the air; Carols everywhere. Olden times and ancient rhymes Of love and dreams to share. bridge Sleigh bells in the air Beauty everywhere; Yuletide by the fireside And joyful memories there. v3 Christmastime is here Families drawing near; Oh, that we could always see Such spirit through the year.

v1 Away in a manger No crib for a bed. The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head. The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay; The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay. v2 The cattle are lowing The Baby awakes; The little Lord Jesus No crying He makes. I love You, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky And stay by my side Until morning is nigh. v3 Be near me, Lord Jesus I ask You to stay Close by me forever And love me I pray. Bless all the dear children In Your tender care; And fit us for heaven To live with You there.

v1 O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light; the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight. v2 For Christ is born of Mary; and, gathered all above, while mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth, and praises sing to God the King, and peace to men on earth. v3 How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heav'n. No ear may hear His coming, but in this world of sin, where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in. v4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray; cast out our sin and enter in; be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel!

v1 Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose; Yuletide carols being sung by a choir and folks dressed up like Eskimos. v2 Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe help to make the season bright; Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow will find it hard to sleep tonight. bridge They know that Santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh; And every mother's child is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly. chorus And so I'm offering this simple phrase to kids from one to ninety-two; Although it's been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas to you!

v1 Some children see Him lily white, the baby Jesus born this night. Some children see Him lily white, with tresses soft and fair. Some children see Him bronzed and brown, The Lord of heav'n to earth come down. Some children see Him bronzed and brown, with dark and heavy hair. v2 Some children see Him almond-eyed, this Savior whom we kneel beside. some children see Him almond-eyed, with skin of yellow hue. Some children see Him dark as they, sweet Mary's Son to whom we pray. Some children see him dark as they, and, ah! they love Him, too! v3 The children in each different place will see the baby Jesus' face like theirs, but bright with heavenly grace, and filled with holy light. O lay aside each earthly thing and with thy heart as offering, come worship now the infant King. 'Tis love that's born tonight!

v1 Of the Father's love begotten Eere the worlds began to be. He is Alpha and Omega He the source the ending He. Of the things that are, that have been; And that future years shall see Evermore and evermore! v2 At his word the worlds were framèd He commanded, it was done Heav’n and earth and depths of ocean In their threefold order one. All that grows beneath the shining Of the moon and burning sun— Evermore and evermore.

v1 In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan. Earth stood hard as iron Water like a stone. Snow had fallen Snow on snow, snow on snow; In the bleak midwinter, long, long ago. v2 Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him Nor earth sustain; Heaven and earth shall flee away When He comes to reign. In the bleak mid-winter A stable-place sufficed Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. v3 Enough for Him whom cherubim Worship night and day; A breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay Enough for Him whom angels fall down before The ox and ass and camel Which adore. v4 Angels and archangels may have gathered there Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air. But only His mother in her maiden bliss; Worshiped the Beloved With a kiss. What can I give Him Poor as I am? v5 If I were a shepherd, I would give a lamb; If I were a wise man, I would do my part; Yet what I can, I give Him Give my heart.
10.
v1 Come, thou long expected Jesus Born to set thy people free; From our fears and sins release us, Let us find our rest in Thee. Israel's strength and consolation, Hope of all the earth Thou art; Dear desire of every nation, Joy of every longing heart. v2 Born Thy people to deliver Born a child and yet a King, Born to reign in us forever, Now Thy gracious kingdom bring. By Thine own eternal spirit rule in all our hearts alone; By Thine all sufficient merit, Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
11.
v1 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 th'angelic hosts proclaim, "Christ is born in Bethlehem!" refrain Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King" v2 Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, late in time behold him come, offspring of the Virgin's womb: veiled in flesh the Godhead see; hail th'incarnate Deity, pleased with us in flesh to dwell, Jesus, our Immanuel. v3 Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, risen with healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by, born that we no more may die, born to raise us from the earth, born to give us second birth.
12.
v1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence And with fear and trembling stand. Ponder nothing worldly minded For with blessing in His hand Christ our God to earth descenders Our full homage to demand. v2 King of kings, yet born of Mary As of old on earth He stood. Lord of lords human nature, in the body and the blood, He will give to all the faithful His own self for heavenly food. v3 At His feet the six-winged seraph Cherubim with watchful eye Veil their faces to His presence; As with ceaseless voice they cry "Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord most high!"
13.
v1 O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel that mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear. refrain Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to you, O Israel. v2 O come, O Wisdom from on high, who ordered all things mightily; to us the path of knowledge show and teach us in its ways to go. v3 O come, O come, great Lord of might, who to your tribes on Sinai's height in ancient times did give the law in cloud and majesty and awe. v4 O come, O Branch of Jesse's stem, unto your own and rescue them! From depths of hell your people save, and give them victory o'er the grave. v5 O come, O Key of David, come and open wide our heavenly home. Make safe for us the heavenward road and bar the way to death's abode. v6 O come, O Bright and Morning Star, and bring us comfort from afar! Dispel the shadows of the night and turn our darkness into light. v7 O come, O King of nations, bind in one the hearts of all mankind. Bid all our sad divisions cease and be yourself our King of Peace.

about

This collection of Christmas songs is 30 years in the making. As a teenager and young adult, I would play Christmas songs at my grandparents' house in San Jose, CA. I grew up 15 minutes away from their house, but gathering together on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day was always uniquely special. My grandparents and extended family would sing, and my mom and cousin would play cello. And although multiple people in my family could play the piano, eventually I became the designated pianist for Christmas. It was an honor to play and I hold these memories dear. The Christmas hymns included on this album were played from the hymnal my Grandmother used when she would play.

To learn about each individual song, click on their title. I hope this collection creates a sense of timeless Christmas peace wherever you listen.

about

Benji Goodrich Highlands Ranch, Colorado

I have been playing piano for 30+ years. My first few years were rough. I hated to practice and didn't have much promise. Through God's grace I kept at it and have grown to love it. If you are a budding musician keep at it - you will never regret being able to play an instrument. ... more
