JOY TO THE WORLD See the blazing Yule before us,
Joy to the world! The Lord is come Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Let earth receive her King; Strike the harp and join the chorus,
Let ev’ry heart- prepare Him room, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
And heav’n and nature sing (2) Follow me in merry measure,
And heav’n and heav’n and nature sing. Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
While I tell of Yule tide treasure,
Joy to the world! The Saviour reigns; Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
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.
DECK THE HALLS
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
‘Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
CHRISTMAS 2010
JINGLE BELLS SILENT NIGHT
Dashing through the snow Silent night! Holy night!
In a one-horse open sleigh All is calm all is bright
Over the fields we go Round yon virgin mother and child
Laughing all the way. Holy infant so tender and mild
Bells on bob-tail ring Sleep in heavenly peace! (2)
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing Silent night! Holy Night!
A sleighing song tonight. Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Jingle bells, jingle bells Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Jingle all the way, Christ the Saviour is born! (2)
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, Hey Silent night! Holy night!
Jingle bells, jingle bells Son of God love’s pure light
Jingle all the way, Radiant beams from thy Holy face
Oh what fun it is to ride With the dawn of redeeming grace,
In a one-horse open sleigh. Jesus, Lord at thy birth. (2)
A day or two ago WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
I thought I’d take a ride We wish you a merry Christmas (3)
And soon Miss Fanny Bright And a Happy New Year.
Was seated by my side; Chorus:
The horse was lean and lank Good tidings we bring to you and your kin.
Misfortune seemed his lot, We wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year.
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upset.
