<p><b>German Christmas Carols</b> with Lyrics in English and in German. In this edition we have assembled 36 traditional German Christmas carols, partly from Christian hymnbooks, partly from traditional folklore. A number of carols have been rendered into English for the first time, some existing English versions have been revised, and some have been taken over as they were. The German stanzas are provided next to the English version. There are also two alphabetical lists of the carols with both the English/German and the German/English first lines.</p> <p><b>Here are the first lines of the carols included:</b></p> <ul> <li>A Time Has Come Right for Us</li> <li>All the World, All Stars May Cheer</li> <li>Behold a Branch Is Growing</li> <li>Bells Never Sweeter Are Ringing</li> <li>Children, Watch Tomorrow's Wonder</li> <li>Christ the Child Is Coming</li> <li>Come Now, Ye Shepherds</li> <li>Come Running, Ye Shepherds</li> <li>Daughter Zion May Rejoice</li> <li>Father Christmas Calls Next Day</li> <li>From Heav'n Above</li> <li>From Heaven On High</li> <li>In Bethlehem, We Gather</li> <li>In Dulci Jubilo</li> <li>Joseph, Dearest Joseph Mine</li> <li>Let's Be Merry and Rejoice</li> <li>Maria Walks through Thorny Groves</li> <li>Merry Christmas Everywhere</li> <li>Now at the Manger Here I Stand</li> <li>O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree</li> <li>O Come, All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles)</li> <li>O Come, Little Children</li> <li>O How Joyfully</li> <li>Praise God the Lord</li> <li>Ring, Bells</li> <li>Silent Night, Holy Night</li> <li>Softly Float All the Flakes</li> <li>Still, Keep Still</li> <li>The Christmas Tree with Candles Burning</li> <li>There Comes a Galley</li> <li>Tiny Snowflake</li> <li>Unlock the Gates</li> <li>We Praise You, Jesus, From Our Heart</li> <li>What Does This Foreshadow</li> <li>When Shepherds Awoke</li> <li>While by My Sheep I Watched at Night</li> </ul> <p>Traditional German Christmas Carols <b>Eb Alto Saxophone"</b> is just one in a series of J
