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!

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 merrily on high. A D E A
In heaven the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riven with angel singing
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
E’en so here below, below
Let steeple bells be swung
And “Io, io, io!”
By priest and people singing
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
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!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin’,
In the lane, snow is glistenin’
A beautiful sight,
We’re happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird,
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He’ll say: Are you married?
We’ll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you’re in town.
Later on, we’ll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we’ve made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he’s a circus clown
We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kiddies knock him down.
When it snows, ain’t it thrillin’,
Though your nose gets a chillin’
We’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Rocking around the Christmas Tree
at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Ev’ry couple tries to stop
You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear voices singing
“Let’s be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly” Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone’s dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way
Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Let the Christmas Spirit ring
Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie
and we’ll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear voices singing
“Let’s be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly” Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone’s dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way

[Verse 1]
O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
‘Til He appears 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; O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O Holy night, O night divine!
[Verse 2]
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the Wise Men from Orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
[Verse 3]
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is Peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in His name, all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us Praise His Holy name
Christ is the Lord; O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim
