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.

See the blazing Yule before us.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la Strike the harp and join the chorus.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la Follow me in merry measure.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la While I tell of Yule-tide treasure.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la Fast away the old year passes.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la Hail the new year, lads and lasses Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la Sing we joyous, all together.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la Heedless of the wind and weather.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Jingle Bells Dashing through the snow On a one-horse open sleigh, Over 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 Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

O 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; He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got upsot.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

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 as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

Now the ground is white Go it while you’re young, Take the girls tonight And sing this sleighing song; Just get a bob-tailed bay Two-forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! You’ll take the lead.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

Silver Bells

City sidewalk, 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’ll hear: Silver bells, silver bells, It’s Christmas time in the city.

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

City street lights, even stop lights, 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 this bustle you’ll hear: Silver bells, silver bells, It’s Christmas time in the city.

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

The Christmas Song Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa’s on his way He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother’s child is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I’m offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it’s been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you.

Holly Jolly Christmas

Have a holly, jolly Christmas; It’s the best time of the year I don’t know if there’ll be snow, but have a cup of cheer.

Have a holly, jolly Christmas; And when you walk down the street Say Hello to friends you know and everyone you meet.

Oh, ho, the mistletoe hung where you can see; Somebody waits for you; Kiss her once for me.

Have a holly jolly Christmas, and in case you didn’t hear, Oh by golly, have a holly, jolly Christmas this year.

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Hark! the herald angels sing “Glory to the newborn King Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!”

Joyful, all ye nations rise; Join the triumph of the skies; With angelic host proclaim “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

Hark! the herald angels sing “Glory to the newborn King!”

Silent Night

Christ, by highest heaven adored; Christ the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of the favored one.

Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see; hail the incarnate Deity Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King”

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 quake at the sight!

Glories stream from heaven afar; Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ia!

Christ the Saviour is born!

Christ the Saviour is born!

Silent night, holy night!

Wondrous star, lend thy light!

With the angels let us sing Alleluia to our King!

Christ the Saviour is here, Jesus the Saviour is here!

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 thy birth; Jesus Lord at thy birth.

Hail! the heaven-born Prince of Peace!

Hail! the Son of Righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings, risen with healing in His wings.

Mild He lays His glory by, born that man no more may die; Born to raise the sons of earth, born to give them second birth Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King”

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Let your heart be light From now on, our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the Yule-tide gay, From now on, our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days, happy golden days of yore.

Faithful friends who are dear to us gather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be together If the Fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
