CAROL OF THE BELLS

Hark how the bells, Sweet silver bells, All seem to say, Throw cares away

Christmas is here, Bringing good cheer, To young and old, Meek and the bold.

Ding dong ding dong That is their song With joyful ring All caroling.

One seems to hear Words of good cheer From everywhere Filling the air.

Oh how they pound, Raising the sound, O’er hill and dale, Telling their tale.

Gaily they ring While people sing Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here.

Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,

Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.

On on they send, On without end, Their joyful tone To every home.

Ding dong ding dong Ding dong ding dong Hark how the bells, Sweet silver bells,

All seem to say, Throw cares away (We will throw cares away)

Christmas is here, Bringing good cheer, To young and old, Meek and the bold.

(Bringing cheer to the young and old)

Oh how they pound, Raising the sound, O’er hill and dale, Telling their tale.

Gaily they ring While people sing Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here.


Merry Christmas


Merry Christmas

On on they send, On without end, Their joyful tone To every home

MARY’S BOY CHILD

Long time ago in Bethlehem So the Holy Bible say Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ Was born on Christmas day

Hark, now hear the angels sing A new king born today And man will live forevermore Because of Christmas day

Trumpets sound and angels sing Listen what they say That Man will live forevermore Because of Christmas day

While shepherds watched their flocks by night Them see a bright new shining star Them hear a choir sing The music seemed to come from afar

Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary Come to Bethlehem that night Them find no place to born she child Not a single room was in sight


By and by, they find a little nook In a stable all forlorn And in a manger cold and dark Mary’s litlle Boy was born

Long time ago in Bethlehem So the Holy Bible say Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ Was born on Christmas day


Trumpets sound and angels sing Listen to what they say That Man will live forevermore Because of Christmas day

WE NEED A LITTLE CHRISTMAS

Haul out the holly Put up the tree before my spirit falls again Fill up the stocking I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now

For we need a little Christmas Right this very minute Candles in the window Carols at the spinet

Yes, we need a little Christmas Right this very minute It hasn’t snowed a single flurry But Santa, dear, we’re in a hurry

So climb down the chimney Turn on the brightest string of light I’ve ever seen Slice up the fruitcake It’s time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough

For I’ve grown a little leaner Grown a little colder Grown a little sadder Grown a little older

And I need a little angel Sitting on my shoulder I need a little Christmas now

Haul out the holly Well, once I taught you all to live each living day Fill up the stocking But auntie Mame, it’s one week past Thanksgiving Day now

But we need a little Christmas Right this very minute Candles in the window Carols at the spinet

And we need a little Christmas Right this very minute It hasn’t snowed a single flurry But Santa, dear, we’re in a hurry

So climb down the chimney It’s been a long time since I felt good, neighborly Slice up the fruitcake It’s time we hung some tinsel on that mayberry bough

For we need a little Christmas Right this very minute Candles in the window Carols at the spinet

And we need a little Christmas Right this very minute We need a little Christmas now

We need a little Christmas now We need a little Christmas now

RUDOLPH THE RED NOSE REINDEER

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all?

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 with glee “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer You’ll go down in history”

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows
