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!




Oh, 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!

 

 

 

OH HOLY NIGHT

Oh holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining


Till he appear'd 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 angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine

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.
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. 

 

 

 

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 first saw the light,
Heard resounding clear and long,
Far and near, the angel song:
Christ the Saviour is here,
Christ the Saviour is here.


Silent night, holy night,

Son of God, oh, how bright

Love is smiling from thy face,


Peals for us the hour of grace.


Christ our Saviour is born,

Christ our Saviour is born.

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 rolled along th' unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.


And in despair I bowed 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 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."


Till ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
