One of the most favorite Christmas songs and undoubtedly the most popular Christmas carol is the Silent Night, written in 1816 by an Austrian priest Joseph Mohr.

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

Heavenly hosts 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

And who doesn't know this one ? From the tiniest kid to the oldest living soul, this Christmas score has been deeply etched in the hearts of thousands across the world, irrespective of race and ethnicities. Here comes Jingle Bells to sweep you off your feet. But hey, you must note this interesting fact here?the Jingle Bells song had originally been written for Thanksgiving, and not for Christmas. James Pierpoint, the author and composer of this Christmas song, had composed it for the children at a Boston Sunday School Thanksgiving. But it became so popular that it continued to be sung during Christmas and now, Jingle Bells stirs up images of the jolly old Santa Claus riding his way to the children. The sound of Christmas bells jingling and the melody of the song speak more of Christmas than of Thanksgiving. Check it out.

Dashing through the snow

In a one horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bob tails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh and sing

A sleighing song tonight

**Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago

I thought I'd take a ride

And soon Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot

We got into a drifted bank

And then we got upsot

Repeat **

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh.

Come ! Tune Your Heart is one of the warmest and most harmonious Christmas carols published by Rev. Henry Ramsden Bramley and Sir John Stainer in the 1860s. The music was composed by Rev. Sir F. A. G. Ouseley and the German verses were translated by Frances Elizabeth Cox. So?come tune your heart.

1. Come! Tune your heart,

To bear its part,

And celebrate Messiah's feast with praises, with praises;

Let love inspire

The joyful choir,

While to the God of Love, glad Hymns it raises, it raises.

2. Exalt His Name;

With joy proclaim,

God loved the world, and through His Son forgave us;

Oh! What are we,

That, Lord, we see

Thy wondrous love, in Christ who died to save us!

3. Your refuge place

In His free grace,

Trust in His Name, and day by day repent you;

Ye mock God's word,

Who call Him Lord,

And follow not the pattern He hath lent you.

4. O Christ, to prove

For Thee, my love,

In brethren Thee my hands shall clothe and cherish;

To each sad heart

Sweet Hope impart,

When worn with care, with sorrow nigh to perish.

5. Come! Praise the Lord;

In Heaven are stored

Rich gifts for those who here His Name esteemed;

Alleluia;

Alleluia;

Rejoice in Christ, and praise Him ye redeemed.
