Jingle Bells C G7 F
Dashing through the snow,
in a one horse open sleigh
O’re the fields we go
laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring,
making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing
a sleighing song to night!
Oh! jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh!
A day or two ago
I thought I’d take a ride
and soon Miss Fannie Bright
was seated by my side.
The horse was lean and lank,
misfortune seemed his lot,
He got into a drifted bank
and we, we got upsot!

Ten lords a leaping, Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a milking, Seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a Partridge in a pear tree.

God rest ye merry, gentlemen;
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan’s pow’r
When we were gone a-stray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy!
O tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem, in Israel, this blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn;
The which His Mother Mar-y did nothing take in scorn.
From God our heav’nly 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.

Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinner reconciled.”
Joyful all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With angelic host proclaim, F Dm
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!” G C G C
Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new-born King!”

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little lord jesus lay down his sweet head
The stars in the night sky look down where he lay
The little lord jesus a sleep on 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 cradle ’til 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.

Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riven with angel singing
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chyme, ye ringers;
May you beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
