Can you name the Christmas Carols' Second Verses? by redhed311

lyric	carol
A day or two ago/I thought I'd take a ride
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain/Gold I bring to crown Him again
Christ by highest heav'n adored/Christ the everlasting Lord
Come to Bethlehem and see/Him Whose birth the angels sing
First comes the stocking of little Nell/Oh dear Santa, fill it well
In Bethlehem, in Israel/This blessed Babe was born
(Title of carol) the Savior reigns/Let men their songs employ
Led by the light/Of Faith serenely beaming
O morning stars, together/Proclaim the holy birth
Oh bring us some figgy pudding
See the blazing Yule before us

lyric	carol
(Title of carol)/(partial title)/Shepherd's quake/At the sight
Still through the cloven skies they come/With peaceful wings unfurled
Strings of street lights/Even stop lights/Blink a bright red and green
The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes
They look-ed up and saw a star/Shining in the east, beyond them far
True God of true God/Light from Light Eternal
When it snows, ain't it thrilling/Though your nose gets a chilling
When the clock is striking twelve/When I'm fast asleep
Why lies He in such mean estate/Where ox and ass are feeding?
With little tin horns and little toy drums/rootie-toot-toots and rum-a-tum tums

	Great idea! Just use the Style page and set the Lyric column to at least 60% so as much of your quiz stays on one page as possible.

	You've made writing a sequel to my quiz unnecessary. Thank you! http://www.sporcle.com/games/rockgolf/xmas_first_lines - I hope they both go to the front page in December!

	I think the line from "O Little Town" should be "For Christ is born of Mary." The line you have is the 3rd from the verse.

	True God of True God is not the second verse of that song: http://www.carols.org.uk/o_come_all_ye_faithful.htm

	Nice quiz, but I have to say I'm disappointed to see several recycled directly from my version of this quiz last year: http://www.sporcle.com/games/christmas_carols.php

	Pretty good. However, you need to also accept "Up on the rooftop" and "Up on the roof top." People learn the song that way (and I think that's the more common way because reindeer land on the roof). Helps when you can think of the tunes to the songs :) I, too, have a Christmas Carol game. I know I'm not supposed to advertise in comments, but how else do I get the word to the sporcle community being that my online friends don't play sporcle? Please, come play, comment, rate, nominate if you think it is good. http://www.sporcle.com/games/kagomeshuko/christmascarolinitials Thanks so much!

	I got confused when I first took it... it says to name the second verses, so I thought I was supposed to fill in the missing lyrics. I did a lot better when I realized I was supposed to name the carol itself!

	This is the best Christmas music quiz.

	He doesn't need to accept Up on the Rooftop. The words are Up on the Housetop. I do believe the second verse of O Come All ye Faithful goes: The highest most holy/light of light eternal.

	I agree with marpocky. The second verse of "O Little Town of Bethlehem" starts "For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above". The line you have is further down. For O Come All Ye Faithful, I've never heard that, but I see it is written that way on some sites. In all the carol books I've seen though, it starts, "Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation..." Not saying what you have is wrong; I'm just surprised I've never heard it in any church service or on any CD. I liked your quiz though. It was fun.

	That is the first time I ever saw that version of O Come All Ye Faithful, and that is my favorite carol. The version triviahappy mentions is the one I know.

	my only nitpick is if you can accept we 3 kings, instead of typing out the 3... great quiz otherwise, and a nice mix of santa songs, and jesus songs
