Away In a Manger

Verse 1

Away in a manger

No crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus

Lay down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky

Look down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus

Asleep on the hay

Verse 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 side

‘Til morning is nigh

Verse 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

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

 

Verse 1

Hark the herald angels sing

Glory to the new born King

Join the triumph of the skies

With anglelic host proclaim

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the new born King

 

Verse 2

Christ by highest heaven adored

Christ the everlasting Lord!

Late in time behold Him come

Offspring of a Virgin’s womb

Pleased as man with man to dwell

Jesus, our Emmanuel

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the new born King

 

Verse 3

Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace

Hail the Son of Righteousness

Light and life to all He brings

Ris’n 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 new born King

 

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the new born King

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen

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

O tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

 

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

O tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

 

The shepherds at those tidings

Rejoiced much in mind

And left their flocks a-feeding

In tempest, storm and wind

And went to Bethlehem straightway

The Son of God to find

O tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

 

And when they came to Bethlehem

Where our dear Saviour lay

They found Him in a manger

Where oxen feed on hay

His Mother Mary kneeling down

Unto the Lord did pray

O tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

 

Now to the Lord sing praises

All you within this place

And with true love and brotherhood

Each other now embrace

This holy tide of Christmas

All other doth deface

O tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

O’er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight

 

[Chorus]

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh, hey

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

 

[Verse 2]

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 then we got upsot

 

[Chorus]

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh, hey

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop

Mistletoe hung where you can see

Every couple tries to stop

 

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree

Let the Christmas spirit ring

Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie

And we’ll do some caroling

 

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing, let’s be jolly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

 

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone dancin’ merrily

In the new old-fashioned way
