Do you know the meaning of the Christmas song???

Christmas song 1:
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Meaning of the words:

don - put on
gay - bright & attractive

troll - search

Christmas song 2:
What child is this, who lard to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepehrds watch are keeping
Chorus:
This, this is Christ the King
who shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the son of Mary.

Meaning of the words:
anthems - a song which has special importance
