Part 4 Round the crib: baby Jesus, sleeping softly; come, see this little stranger; come, they told me, parum pum pum pum; girls and boys, leave your toys; hey, little bull behind the gate; infant holy, infant lowly; it was poor little Jesus; Jesus, Jesus rest your head; Jesus borned in Bethlea; Jesus, our brother, kind and good; lullaby, Jesus, my dear one, be sleeping; a little child was born in a stall; Mary had a baby; Mary was watching tenderly; O come, little children; run with torches to light the dim stable; sleep quietly, my Jesus; what shall I give to the child in the manger?. Part 5 Shepherds and kings: go, tell it on the mountain; Andrew mine, Jasper mine; Melchior and Balthazar; in a cold and dark December; lift up lightly the stable bar; oh, who would be a shepherd boy?; Philip, awake, I pray!; shepherds have left their sheep; some wise men in their splendour; there were three kings; winds through the olive trees; under Bethlehem's star so bright. Part 6 Celebrating Christmas: now light one thousand Christmas lights; blow the trumpet and bang the drum; O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree; the first day of Christmas; we wish you a merry Christmas.
