JINGLE BELLS
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
In a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight
In a one-horse open sleigh (one-horse sleigh)
Over the fields we go (over the fields we go, we go)
They are laughing all the way (all the way)
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song till night
THE FIRST NOEL
The first Noel the angels did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay,
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heav’nly Lord
That hath made heav’n and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind hath bought.
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the King
Born is the King
Born is the King of Israel
ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
AWAY IN A MANGER
Away in a manger, No crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the
bright sky, Looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.
The cattle are lowing, The baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus look down from the sky, And stay by my side Until morning is nigh.
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 fit us for Heaven to live with thee there
SILENT NIGHT
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright, Round yon virgin, mother and child,
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in Heavenly peace, Sleep in Heavenly peace. Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight, Glories stream from Heaven afar, Heav’nly hosts sing ‘alleluia’, Christ the saviour is born, Christ the saviour is born. Silent night, holy night Son of God, love’s pure light, Radiant beams from
thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth
O HOLY NIGHT
O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth.
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining, Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees Oh hear the Angels’ voices,
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born.
O night divine,
O night, O night divine.
O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth.
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining, Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the Angels’ voices, O night divine
O night, when Christ was born.
O night divine
O night, O night divine.
WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
