Joy to the World Junior School Band

and Combined Choirs

Joy to the world, the Lord is come. Let Earth receive her King. Let every heart prepare Him room. And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns. Let us our 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.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Petite Chorale

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” (Repeat).

Jingle Bell Rock Community Choir

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring

Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it’s the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet

That’s the jingle bell rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it’s the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet

That’s the jingle bell

That’s the jingle bell,

That’s the jingle bell rock

Santa Claus is Coming to Town Community Choir

You better watch out

You better not cry

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 or 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

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town

Sing Along

Away in a Manger

Deci-Belles Choir

Away in a manger

No crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing

The Baby awakes

But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes.

I love You, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky And stay by my side Until morning is nigh.

Once in Royal David’s City

Deci-Belles Choir

Once in Royal David’s city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for His bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child.

He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall; With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love; For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above, And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone.

Feliz Navidad Deci-Belles Choir
