A deity is a god. In a christmas song it may well mean the Christian God, depending on context.

Deity = God
Divinity = God-like
Some speak of the "divinity" of Jesus .... that He was "God-like" or suitable for (the realm of) the gods. Rather like you might say your wife's cooking is "divine", suitable for the gods. [Maybe that is why she burns the meals?]
To speak of the "deity" of Jesus is to affirm that He was and is God Incarnate; Emmanuel - God with us. In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
===========================
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.
Frankincense to offer have I.
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising all men raising,
Worship Him, God on high.
Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume
Breaths a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies.

A diety is a god.
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deity
"A deity or god is a postulated preternatural being, who is usually, but not always, of significant power, worshipped, thought holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, or respected by human beings."

From the Latin word "deo" meaning a god. "deity" doesn't necessary mean the Christian or god of Islam, but any god.
