For One Million Dollars, it's...Name That Christmas Carol!

'Tis the season for my famous--make that infamous--obsession with Christmas-themed puzzles.  I have a confession to make, though: I love puzzles because it's just an excellent way of showcasing my extensive bank of useless knowledge.  (This also happens to be the reason I sporcle.)

...And now, the moment you've all been waiting for--for your chance to win One Million Dollars, it's...Name That Christmas Carol!  Contestants, you will be given a verse or part of a verse that is found in the text of a well-known Christmas carol.  Your job will be to think of the carol whence it came.  Once you have read each of the 30 Christmas carol verses, writing down or remembering your answers, click on the link at the end to see if you have won...One Million Dollars!  A small hint: wherever you see an ellipsis (...), that means some words have been removed that just might have given away the answer.  And remember, this is a test of your knowledge of Christmas carols, not of your skills in googling, so if you use any source besides your own brilliance, you are ineligible to receive your prize of One Million Dollars!

Ready?  Here we go!

Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me I pray.

Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And take them to heaven to live with thee there.  (1)

Baby Jesus...

I am a poor boy, too...

I have no gift to bring...

That's fit to give a king...

Shall I play for you...on my drum?  (2)

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler "Stop!"  (3)

Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Earth to the heav'ns replies.  (4)

And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.  (5)

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
"Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold."  (6)

Shepherds in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant Light.  (7)

Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing...  (8)

In his master's steps he trod,
Where the snow lay dinted;
Heat was in the very sod
Which the Saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
Wealth or rank possessing,
Ye who now will bless the poor,
Shall yourself find blessing.  (9)

Christmas makes you feel emotional,

It may bring parties or thoughts devotional.

Whatever happens or what may be,

Here is what Christmastime means to me.  (10)

...Now ye hear of endless bliss
Joy! Joy!
Jesus Christ was born for this;
He hath ope'd the heav'nly door,
And man is blessed evermore;

Christ was born for this,

Christ was born for this.  (11)

God bless the master of this house
Likewise the mistress too!
And all the little children
That 'round the table go  (12)

Fast away the old year passes; ...
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses; ...
Sing we joyous all together, ...
Heedless of the wind and weather. ...  (13)

Hasten now, good folk of the village
Hasten now, the Christ-Child to see
You will find him asleep in the manger
Quietly come and whisper softly
Hush, hush, peacefully now He slumbers
Hush, hush, peacefully now He sleeps.  (14)

From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came.
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same,
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name. ...  (15)

How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in.  (16)

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo, above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Saviour's birth!  (17)

Hail the Heav'n-born Prince of Peace!

Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Ris'n with healing in His wings.
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth!  (18)

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright;
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.  (19)

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men."  (20)

O come, O Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
And drive away the shaves of night
And pierce the clouds and bring us light.  (21)

When the clock is striking twelve,
When I'm fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black,
With your pack you'll creep;
All the stockings you will find
Hanging in a row;
Mine will be the shortest one,
You'll be sure to know.  (22)

There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.  (23)

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our Friend!
He knows our need; to our weakness is no stranger.
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!  (24)

Now the ground is white,
So go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed nag,
Two-forty for his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! You'll take the lead.  (25)

But with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousands years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring;
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing.  (26)

Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended knee

Christ, the Lord, the newborn King.  (27)

…Son of God, love’s pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face,

With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.  (28)

So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,

Come, peasant, king, to own him.

The King of kings salvation brings,

Let loving hearts enthrone him.

Raise, raise the song on high!

The virgin sings her lullaby.

Joy! joy! for Christ is born,

The babe, the son of Mary!  (29)

No more let sins and sorrows 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.  (30)
