Silver Bells

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style, in the air there’s a feeling of Christmas,

Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile, and on every street corner you hear.

Chorus:Silver bells, silver bells, it’s Chirstmas time in the city,

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day.

See the street lights, even stoplights, blink a bright red and green, as the shoppers rush home with their treasures,

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, this is Santa’s big scene, and above all the bustle you hear...

Here Comes Santa Claus

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus lane,

Vixen, Blixen, and all his reindeer, pulling on the reins,

Bells are ringing, children singing, all is merry and bright,

So hang your stockings and say your prayers, ‘cause Santa Claus comes to night, Oh!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus lane,

He’s got a bag that’s filled with toys for boys and girls again,

Hear those sleigh bells go jingle jangle, what a beautiful sight.

Jump in bed, and cover your head ‘cause Santa Claus comes tonight. Oh!

Here Comes Santa Claus (2)

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus lane,

He doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, for he loves you just the same,

Santa knows we’re all God’s children, that makes everything right,

So fill your hearts with Christmas cheers ‘cause Santa Claus comes tonight, Oh!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus lane,

He’ll come around when the chimes ring out, and it’s Christmas morn again,

Peace on earth will come to all, if we just follow the light,

Let’s give thanks to the Lord above ‘cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

V.1 You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry, you’d better not pout I’m telling you why,

Santa Claus is coming, to town.

He’s making a list, and checking it twice, he’s gonna find out who’s naughty and nice,

Santa Claus is coming, to town.

He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake,

He knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake,

Repeat V.1

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (2)

With little tin horns, little toy drums, rootie-toot-toots, and rummy-tum-tums,

Santa Claus is coming to town.

And curly-haired dolls, that toddle and coo, elephants, boots and kiddie cars too.

Santa Claus is coming, to town

The kids in girl and boy land, will have a jubilee,

They’re gonna build a toyland, all around the Christmas tree, so...

Repeat V.1

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh, O’er 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,

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

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 upset...Oh!

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose,

And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows,

All of the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names,

They never let poor Rudolph, join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say,

“Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight.”

Then how the reindeer loved him, as they shouted out in glee,

“Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history.

Winter Wonderland

V.1 Sleighbells ring, are you listenin’? In the lane, snow is glistenin’,

A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, walking in a Winter Wonderland.

V.2 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.

V.3 Later on, we’ll conspire, as we dream, by the fire,

To face unafraid, the plans that we made, walking in a Winter Wonderland.

Away In A Manger

V.1 Away in a manger no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head,

The stars in the sky look down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus a-sleep in the hay.

V.2 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,

V.3 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 take us to Heaven to live with Thee there.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman

V.1 God rest ye merry gentlemen let nothing you dismay,

Remember Christ our saviour was born on Christmas day,

To save us all from Satan’s power when we were gone astray,

Chorus:O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.

V.2 From God our heavenly 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...chorus

V.3 The Shepherds at these tidings, rejoiced much in mind,

And left their flocks a-feeding, in tempest storm and wind,

And went to Bethlehem straightaway, this Blessed Babe to find...chorus

Joy To The World

Joy to the world the Lord is come, Let 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 na—ture sing.

Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns, Let men their songs employ,

While fields and floods, rocks hills and plains, repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

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, wonders, of His love.

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.

V.2 Silent night, holy night, sheperds quake, at the sight,

Glories stream, from heaven afar, heavenly hosts sing Alleleu--lia,

Christ our Saviour is born, Christ our Saviour is born.

V.3 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 the Thy birth, Jesus Lord at Thy birth.
