Christmas Carols

Forgotten the words to your favourite Christmas Carol? Forgotten the tune? This page gathers  the most popular words to traditional Christmas Carols.

There are often slight variations to the exact wording of traditional tunes, published in different places. So most of those listed are traditional Christmas Carols that are now in the public domain. Where variations exist, the most popular version has been used.

Each Christmas Carol listed below will have the Christmas lyrics/words displayed on page, and (hopefully) a link to an audio performance of the carol, most commonly from a beautiful performance by St Matthews choir, available at the Internet Archive Open Source Audio, from December 2008 at http://www.archive.org/details/ChristmasShow2008_939, or from a popular performance on YouTube.
