Name That Christmas Tune, Christmas Eve edition

[lumineaux]

Thank you all for coming along on another Advent full of tunes.  I'm going to close out with a few of my personal favorites.

(1)  “All glory be to God on high,

And to the Earth be peace;

Good will henceforth from Heaven to men

Begin and never cease,

Begin and never cease!”

(2)  Just a little bobsled we call the old Saint Nick

But she'll walk a toboggan with a four speed stick

She's candy apple red with a ski for a wheel

And when Santa hits the gas man just watch her peel

(3)  Tempus adest gratiae, hoc quod optabamus,

Carmina laetitiae devote reddamus.


(4)  Our steward hath provided this

In honor of the King of Bliss;

Which, on this day to be served is

In Reginensi atrio.


And the Answers are:

(1)  While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night; (2) Little Saint Nick; (3) Gaudete; (4) The Boar's Head Carol

2. Little Saint Nick
3. Gaudete (one of my favorites)
4. The Boar's Head Carol

Once upon a time, some friends of mine from Calontir went Boar Hunting with spears, early one December. They served the head at 12th Night, and I'd suggested they sing The Boar's Head Carol on their way in with it. I gather they did.
