Sebelumnya blog bayu mengucapkan "Selamat Hari Natal, Merry Christmas, Damai di Bumi, Damai di Hati". Tuhan Yesus telah lahir di dunia dan akan datang kedua kalinya pada hari terakhir sebagai hakim yang adil.
Kiranya Tuhan Yesus juga lahir di hati para pembaca sekalian, dan kiranya damai beserta anda.
Nah, oke saya mau membahas lagu-lagu yang selalu dinyanyikan saat Natal tiba, Natal mengingatkan saya akan banyak hal, akan keluarga ayah ibu saya, akan karunia yang Tuhan beri saat ini, saat jadi pemeran sandiwara di gereja walau cuma jadi prajurit romawi ;), jadi anggota koor paduan suara, jadi seksi perlengkapan, jadi panitia, teringat akan janji Tuhan yang telah digenapi, dan banyak hal lain. Paling pas kalau langsung menyanyikan lagu Natalnya sekalian.
1. Jinggle Bells Ini ceritanya lagi naik kereta kudanya Santa
Lirik :Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Reff:Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, o
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Other Verses :
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 ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.
A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as
I there sprawling laid
But quickly drove away.
Now the ground is white,
Go it while you’re young,
Take the girls along
And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay,
Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! you’ll take the lead.
2. Malam KudusMalam ketika Tuhan Yesus lahir, kalau penyalaan lilin bareng-bareng paduan suara menyanyikan lagu ini :)
Lirik : Malam kudus, sunyi senyap;
dunia terlelap.
Hanya dua berjaga terus
ayah bunda mesra dan kudus;
Anak tidur tenang,
Anak tidur tenang.
Malam kudus sunyi senyap
Kabar Baik menggegap;
bala sorga menyayikannya,
kaum gembala menyaksikannya:
"Lahir Raja Syalom,
lahir Raja Syalom!"
Malam kudus, sunyi senyap.
Kurnia dan berkat
tercermin bagi kami terus
di wajah-Mu, ya Anak kudus,
cinta kasih kekal,
cinta kasih kekal.

English Version - Silent Night
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

Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus lord at thy birth
Jesus lord at thy birth
3. Hai Mari BerhimpunLirik :
Hai mari berhimpun dan bersuka ria
Turut semua ke betlehem
Marilah pandang Tuhan bala sorga
Sembah dan puji Dia, sembah dan puji Di-a
Sembah dan puji Dia, yang raja
Bernyanyilah kamu tentara malaikat
Turutlah bernyanyi manusia

Yang maha mulia lahirlah di bumi

Datanglah Ia mengampuni dosa
Perjanjian Allah sudah disampaikan
KasihNya nyata di dunia
Nyanyi bersorak dan bersuka ria. 4. Kesukaan Bagi Dunia (Joy to the World)
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive its King;
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n, and heav'n and nature sing.
Joy to the earth, the Saviour reigns!
Let all their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
No more let sin and sorrow grow
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His blessings flow
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders of His love.

It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
6. White ChristmastI'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where those tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
With every christmas card I write,
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmases be white.
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
May your days may your days may your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmases be white.
