Blue Christmas Song Lyrics

I'll have a Blue Christmas without you

I'll be so blue just thinking about you

Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree

Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start falling

That's when those blue memories start calling

You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white

But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas

(Instrumental Break)

You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white,

But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

Composers: Billy Hayes and Jay Johnson

Someday at Christmas with Stevie Wonder

In the midst of joy and celebration, it remains a blessing to remember that there are brothers and sisters who are experiencing sorrow and despair. Citizens around the globe who don’t know peace and security and immersed in war and violence. Stevie Wonder’s “Someday at Christmas” is the reminder this holiday season. Prayable’s picks this gentle yet graphic Christmas song as today’s best Christmas music. Weave the joy of the season with a sensitivity to those less fortunate. May your prayers reach all of God’s children this Christmas and bring peace to the world.

Someday at Christmas - Lyrics

Someday at Christmas men won’t be boys

Playing with bombs like kids play with toys

One warm December our hearts will see

A world where men are free

Someday at Christmas there’ll be no wars

When we have learned what Christmas is for

When we have found what life’s really worth

There’ll be peace on earth

Someday all our dreams will come to be

Someday in a world where men are free

Maybe not in time for you and me

But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas we’ll see a land

With no hungry children, no empty hand

One happy morning people will share

Our world where people care

Someday at Christmas there’ll be no tears

All men are equal and no men have fears

One shining moment, one prayer away

From our world today

Someday all our dreams will come to be

Someday in a world where men are free

Maybe not in time for you and me

But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas man will not fail

Hate will be gone and love will prevail

Someday a new world that we can start

With hope in every heart

Someday all our dreams will come to be

Someday in a world where men are free

Maybe not in time for you and me

But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmastime

Composer: Stevie Wonder

Hark the Herald Angels Sing with Amy Grant

No matter how often you hear this Christmas classic, “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” delivers every time. Amy Grant does a wonderful job of staying true to the spirit of this traditional hymn while injecting a mildly contemporary feel that’s just right. We love this top Christmas song. Enjoy and sing with the angels!

Hark the Herald Angles Sing - Lyrics

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 newborn King!”

Christ by highest heav’n 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!”

Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!

Hail the Son of Righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings

Ris’n 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 newborn King!”

Composer: Charles Wesley

Merry Christmas Baby with Ray Charles

Christmas music never sounded like this until the blues singers got a hold of “Merry Christmas Baby” starting with Charles Brown in 1947. The legends have been singing it ever since and the Ray Charles version of “Merry Christmas Baby” is one of the best. Kinda of sultry, kinda salty, today’s Prayable pick for best Christmas song makes you tingle rather than jingle. Have fun with it and have a Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Baby Lyrics

Merry Christmas baby

Babe you sure did treat me nice

Yeah! Merry Merry Merry Christmas baby

Babe you sure did treat me nice

Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas

And now I'm living in paradise

Oh! I'm feeling mighty fine this morning

I've got good music on my radio

Hey baby, I'm feeling mighty fine

I've got good music on my radio

I would love to hug and kiss you baby

While you're standing beneath the mistletoe

Santa came down the chimney

About half past three

He got all of these presents that you'll use

See, I'll help you put on these

Merry Merry Merry Christmas baby

Oh! You sure been good to me

I haven't had a drink this evenin' baby

But I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree

Hey! Merry Merry Merry Christmas baby

I've got good music on my radio

I said, Merry Merry Merry Christmas baby

I've got good music on my radio

I would love to hug and kiss you baby

While you're standing beneath the mistletoe

Composers: Lou Baxter and Johnny Moore

O Holy Night with Jennifer Hudson

The powerful voice of Jennifer Hudson does wonders with this Christmas classic, "O Holy Night." Jennifer grew up in a musical family singing Gospel in churches and putting heart and soul into Christian music. Though she made her musical mark in pop music, it's easy to see her beginnings when she takes on this song. "O Holy Night" by Jennifer Hudson as a must-listen this holiday season.

O Holy Night Lyrics

O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Til He appeared and the soul felt it's worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees

O hear the angel voices
O night divine!
O night when Christ was born
O night divine!
O night, O night divine!

And in His Name, all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise his holy name
Christ is the Lord!
Their name forever praise we

Noel, Noel
O night, O night Divine
Noel, Noel
O night, O night Divine
Noel, Noel
O night, O holy Divine

Composer: Adolphe-Charles Adam
