Joy To The World

Joy to the world! the ;lord is come; Let the earth receive her king; Let every heart prepare him room, And heav’n and nature sing, And Heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n and heav’n and nature sing.

Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns; Let men their songs em ploy; while fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, and wonders, and wonders of His love.

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Jolly old Saint Nicholas lean your ear this way
Don’t you tell a single soul what I’m going to say
Christmas Eve is coming soon now you dear old man
Whisper what you’ll bring to me tell me if you can.

When the clock is striking tvelve when I’m fast alseep
Down the chimney broad and black with your pack you’ll creep
All the stockings you will find hanging in a row
Mine will be the shortest one you’ll be sure to know.

Johnny wants a pair of skates Susie wants a dolly
Nelly wants a storybook she thinks dolls are folly
As for me my little brain isn’t very bright
Choose for me old Santa Claus what you think is right.

Jolly old Saint Nicholas lean your ear this way
Don’t you tell a single soul what I’m going to say
Christmas Eve is coming soon now you dear old man
Whisper what you’ll bring to me tell me if you can.

Tell me if you can.

(Jolly, jolly, jolly, jolly old Saint Nick.)…

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Through 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.

Chorus:
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, O
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 Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.

Chorus

A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as
I there sprawling laid
But quickly drove away.

Chorus

Now the ground is white,
Go it while you’re young,
Take the girls along
And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay,
Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack!
You’ll take the lead.

Chorus

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

Verse 1:

It came upon the midnight clear;

That glorious song of old,

From angels bending near the earth,

To touch their harps of gold:

“Peace on the earth, good-will to men,

From heaven’s all gracious King;”

The world in solemn stillness lay;

To hear the angels sing.

Verse 2:

Sill through the cloven skies they come,

With peaceful wings unfurled;

Ane still their heavenly music floats,

O’er all the weary world:

Above its sad and lowly plains

They bend on hovering wing;

And ever o’er its Babel sounds

The blessed angels sing

Verse 3:

O Ye, beneath life’s crushing load,

Whose forms are bending low,

Who toil along the climbing way,

With painful steps and slow.

Look now, for glad and golden hours

Come swiftly on the wing;

O rest beside the weary road,

And hear the angels sing.

Verse 4:

For lo! the days are hastening on,

By prophets seen of old,

When with the ever circling years,

Shall come the time foretold,

When the new heaven and earth shall own

The Prince of Peace their King,

And the whole world send back the song

Which now the angels sing.

I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play.
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of Peace on earth, good will to men.

I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had roll’d along th’ unbroken song
Of Peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair, I bow’d my head:
“There is no peace on earth,” I said,
“For hate is strong and mocks the song,
Of Peace on earth, good will to men.”

Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound the carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearthstones of a continent,
And made forlorn, the households born
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep;
“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With Peace on earth, good will to men.”

Here Comes Santa Clause

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
are pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
He’s got a bag that is filled with toys
for the boys and girls again.
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
