Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains Gloria, in excelsis Deo Gloria, in excelsis Deo Shepherds, why this jubilee Why your joyous strains prolong What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heav’nly song Come to Bethlehem and see Christ Whose birth the angels sing Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King See Him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While our hearts in love we raise

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree With faithful leaves unchanging O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree With faithful leaves unchanging Not only green in summers heat But also winters snow and sleet O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree With faithful leaves unchanging O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree Of all the trees most lovely O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree Of all the trees most lovely Each year you bring to me delight Gleaming in the Christmas night O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree Of all the trees most lovely O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree Your leaves they teach me also O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree You leaves they teach me still Of love and hope and faithfulness All things that I long to possess O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree Your leaves they teach me still O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree How lovely are your branches O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree How lovely are your branches In summer sun or winter snow A coat of green you always show O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree How lovely are your branches

He who looks for the King must be willing to come to a cave For the one who created all things Has lowered Himself for our sake Oh how can this be The light of the world in the arms of a girl Merry Christmas Everything’s different A gift has been given, Mary’s son Merry Christmas God is here with us A mother was found more spacious than all of the heavens He who watches the stars Has been shown a way out of the dark For the light that once shined from afar Has been born in the mother of God Oh, angels descend For the child in her arms Holds the world in His hands Come, see for yourself The light from above has become one of us Merry Christmas Everything’s different A gift has been given, Mary’s son Merry Christmas God is here with us Our mother was found more spacious than all of the heavens He who longs to be raised Must first be sown into the grave Where the lowest of us is made great And the poorest are known by their names Oh how can this be The maker of stars Is the god we now see Merry Christmas Everything’s different A gift has been given, Mary’s son is born Merry Christmas God is here with us Our mother was found more spacious than all of the heavens Mary's son has come to us

You and I Sharing cider by the open fire Warm inside While the snow is falling right before our eyes All our hopes turn into mistletoe everywhere You and me Hanging memories up on Christmas Eve When suddenly we both remember that we still believe All our dreams turn into Christmas trees everywhere Every single year when the holidays come Our hearts start beating ba rumpa bum bum We sip a little wine with the spices mulled and laugh about the ways that we still feel young Laughter is a medicine Laughter is a gift in the hearts of men Magic is the world we're in Magic is the moment you believe again Oh I don't wanna say goodnight I always want to feel like I do when it's christmas time The Christmas lights shine so bright against the midnight sky As I hold you tight, time stops moving for a little while Maybe Christmas is whenever we're together Maybe reindeer could really learn to fly Oh, Christmas time It happens every single year when the holidays come Our hearts start beating ba rumpa bum bum We sip a little wine with the spices mulled and laugh about the ways that we still feel young Laughter is a medicine Laughter is a gift in the hearts of men Magic is the world we're in Magic is the moment you believe again Oh I don't wanna say goodnight I always want to feel like I do when it's christmas time

Santa where have you been I've been counting the days since you left now the cold air is near and I'm ready to hear your sleigh bells jingling again Santa where have you been I've had Christmas songs stuck in my head Ever since last year I've been hearing reindeer click and clack on my rooftop could blitzon and rudolph be dropping you off right now I’m ready, I'm ready, I'm ready for Christmas Santa are you almost here? There’s not a lot of things I need this year I know that you're a man with a lot on his plate But if it isn't too much trouble I could sure use a date? Santa clause where have you been Didn’t you get the letters I sent Well in case it's been missed Let me tell you my wish There's a girl that I'd sure like to kiss I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready for that kiss Santa are you almost here? There’s not a lot of things I need this year I know that you're a man with a lot on his plate But if it isn't too much trouble could you get me a date? Santa are you almost here I've been a really good boy this year I know I'm kinda callin in a favor this time But if you'd help me with the kids I'll let the presents slide Santa how did you know That she'd fall for that 'ol mistletoe Please give my regards to dear Mrs. Clause I've a feeling that she played a part

What child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The babe, the son of Mary Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding The kings of earth and all their worth Appear before him fleeting This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The babe, the son of Mary So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come, peasant, king, to own him. The King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone him This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The babe, the son of Mary Raise, raise a song on high, The virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born, The babe, the Son of Mary.

The virgin cometh today To the cave to give birth Ineffably to bring forth the King eternal Hearing this may you rejoice Oh inhabited world With the angels and shepherds give glory to him Whose own will it was to appear as a young child He who is God from eternity He who is God from eternity

I want to feel like it's Christmas Everyday of the year I want to know you're still with us and more than just a holiday thrill So come and be Christmas, come and be Christmas You make it Christmas whenever you're here I've got a gift that's worth giving because hope is supposed to be shared Oh I've got a reason for singing and I want the whole world to hear I want the world to hear that it's finally Christmas It's finally Christmas, It's finally Christmas Now that You're here From the big city lights To the cold winter nights As the twilight lays still on a snow covered hill I know Christmas is finally here Christmas has found its way here I'm whiter than snow I'm whiter than snow I'm whiter than snow I'm whiter than snow this year From the big city lights To that cold winter night As the twilight laid still There on Calvary's hill We knew Christmas was finally here Christmas had found a way here

We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar. Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star. O star of wonder, star of night, Star of royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light. Born a king on Bethlehem's plain, Gold I bring to crown Him again, King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign. O star of wonder, star of night, Star of royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light.

Emmanuel, our God is with us Jehovah, our God is alive By your great love, you have redeemed us Hosanna in the highest Glory in the highest, in the highest, in highest Glory in the highest, in the highest, in highest Emmanuel, the light of the Father Appearing in humble disguise For all to see, you suffered among us Messiah, we open our eyes Glory in the highest, in the highest, in highest Glory in the highest, in the highest, in highest Messiah you've opened our eyes up For the one who is greatest has come as a child Hosanna, our prayers have been answered Just as in the manger be born in our lives

about

Symon Hajjar Tulsa

My music is a mix of hymns, whims, and contemplations that have come to me over the years as I have tried to honestly reflect on my own journey of belief and self realization. I hope that more than a few of them ring true with you too. Enjoy.
