Christmas Carols in Traditional Sound
Let all the songs
On Christmas Day, play
And with heralding
Choristers sing, ring
The coming of
The heaven-sent,
Love-cradled King.
Christmas Carols in Jazz
Let the horns sound round,
The bass and drums beat sweet,
The keys tell well,
In rhythms neat,
The glory sound
Of God complete,
Immanuel.
