Come along to the Hean Castle pub in Saundersfoot on Saturday 7th December 2024 between 3 & 5pm for a good ol’ fashioned singalong at the final Coffee & Connect of 2024.

They’ll be carols and festive cheer, a collection by Saundersfoot Rotary for Pembrokeshire Foodbank (where you could win a prize) and lots of fun guaranteed!

Want to join in the singing, the words to the festive tunes are below:

 

Once in Royal David’s City

1. Once in royal David’s city

Stood a lowly cattle shed,

Where a mother laid her baby

In a manger for his bed:

Mary was that Mother mild,

Jesus Christ her little Child.

2. He came down to earth from heaven

Who is God and Lord of all,

And his shelter was a stable,

And his cradle was a stall:

With the poor and mean and lowly,

Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

3. Not in that poor lowly stable,

With the oxen standing by,

We shall we see him: but in heaven,

Set at God’s right hand on high,

When like stars his children crowned,

All in white shall wait around.

 

Silent Night

1. 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.

2. 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

3. Silent night, holy night!

Son of God love’s pure light.

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

 

Deck The Halls

1. Deck the hall with boughs of holly,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

‘Tis the season to be jolly,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Don we now our gay apparel,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

2. See the blazing yule before us,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Strike the harp and join the chorus.

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Follow me in merry measure,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

While I tell of Christmas treasure,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

3. Fast away the old year passes,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses!

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Sing we joyous all together,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Heedless of the wind and weather,

Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

 

While Shepherds Watched

1. While shepherds watched their flocks by night

All seated on the ground

The angel of the Lord came down

And glory shone around

2. ”Fear not”, said he, for mighty dread

Had seized their troubled mind

“Glad tidings of great joy I bring

To you and all mankind”

3. All glory be to God on high

And on the earth be peace

Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men

Begin and never cease

 

Jingle Bells

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way.

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way.

Oh what fun it is to ride,

In a one-horse open sleigh.

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 ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight, oh!

Chorus

 

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

1. 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 the angelic host proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark! The herald-angels sing

Glory to the new-born king

2. Christ, by highest heaven adored

Christ, the everlasting Lord,

Late in time behold Him come

Offspring of a Virgin’s womb:

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,

Hail the incarnate Deity

Pleased as man with man to dwell

Jesus, our Emmanuel

Hark! The herald-angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

3. 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 man no more may die

Born to raise the sons of earth

Born to give them second birth

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the new-born king

 

O Little Town Of Bethlehem

1. 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

2. How silently, how silently

The wondrous gift is given

So God imparts to human hearts

The blessings of His heaven

No ear may hear His coming

But in this world of sin

Where meek souls will receive him still

The dear Christ enters in

3. O holy Child of Bethlehem

Descend to us, we pray

Cast out our sin and enter in

Be born to us today

We hear the Christmas angels

The great glad tidings tell

O come to us, abide with us

Our Lord Emmanuel

O come to us, abide with us

Our Lord Emmanuel

 

Ding Dong Merrily On High

1. Ding dong merrily on high,

In heav’n the bells are ringing:

Ding dong! verily the sky

Is riv’n with angel singing

Gloria Hosanna in excelsis!

Gloria Hosanna in excelsis!

2. E’en so here below, below,

Let steeple bells be swungen,

And “Io, io, io!”

By priest and people sungen

Gloria Hosanna in excelsis!

Gloria Hosanna in excelsis!

3. Pray you, dutifully prime

Your matin chime, ye ringers,

May you beautifully rhyme

Your eve’time song, ye singers

Gloria Hosanna in excelsis!

Gloria Hosanna in excelsis!

 

Let it Snow!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

Since we’ve no place to go

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn’t show signs of stopping

And I brought some corn for popping

The lights are turned down low

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight

How I’ll hate going out in the storm

But if you’ll really hold me tight

All the way home I’ll be warm

The fire is slowly dying

And, my dear, we’re still goodbyin’

As long as you love me so

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

(Repeat from bold section to finish)

Winter Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?

In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight

We’re happy tonight

Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird

Here to stay is a new bird

To sing a love song

While we stroll along

Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow, we can build a snowman

We’ll pretend that he is Parson Brown

He’ll say, are you married?

We’ll say, no man

But you can do the job when you’re in town

Later on, we’ll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid

The plans that we’ve made

Walking in a winter wonderland

Instrumental

In the meadow, we can build a snowman

And pretend that he’s a circus clown

We’ll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman

Until the other kiddies knock him down

Later on, we’ll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid

The plans that we’ve made

Walking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland
