Silver Bells

Here Comes Santa Claus Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus lane Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer Pullin' on the reins Bells are ringin', children singin' All is merry and bright Hang your stockings and say your prayers 'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight! Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus lane He's got a bag that's filled with toys For boys and girls again Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, Oh what a beautiful sight So jump in bed and cover your head 'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight! Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus lane He doesn't care if you're rich or poor He loves you just the same Santa Claus knows we're all Gods children That makes everything right So fill your hearts with Christmas cheer 'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight! Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus lane He'll come around when the chimes ring out

City sidewalks, 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 sing Soon it will be Christmas day Strings of 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 sing Soon it will be Christmas day

That it's Christmas morn again Peace on earth will come to all If we just follow the light So lets give thanks to the Lord above That Santa Claus comes tonight!

Sleigh bells ring are you listening in the lane

snow is glistening A beautiful sight we're happy tonight walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song as we go along

walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? we'll say: No man But you can do the job when you're in town Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire To face unafraid the plans that we've made walking in a winter wonderland

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 th’angelic hosts proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem.” Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King!" Hail! the heav'n 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!" Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer 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

Away in a Manger Away in a manger, No crib for His 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, I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. 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. But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

Joy to the World Joy to the world! The Lord is come. Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room; And heav'n and nature sing, and heav'n and nature sing. And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing. 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 wonder wonders of His love. Silent Night 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 alleluia;

O Come All Ye Faithful O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem.

Come and behold Him, born the King of angels; O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. Sing, choirs of angels; sing in exultation; O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above! Glory to God, all glory in the highest!

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.

Christ the Savior, is born! Christ the Savior, is born! 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

Angels We Have Heard on High Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o'er the plains, and the mountains in reply echoing their joyous strains: 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 Yuletide treasure. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la Deck the Halls Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Frosty the Snowman Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul With a corncob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say He was made of snow but the children know How he came to life that day There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be And the children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you and me Frosty the Snowman knew the sun was hot that day So he said let's run and we'll have some fun Now before I melt away Frosty the Snowman had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye Saying don't you cry We Wish You a Merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas And a Happy New Year! Glad tidings we bring to you and your kin; Glad tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year! I'll be back again some day Thumpety thump thump....

Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the new-born King.

Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Santa Clause is Comin' to Town You better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town

Go Tell It on the Mountain Go, tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born. While shepherds kept their watching O’er silent flocks by night, Behold throughout the heavens, There shone a holy light: Go, tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born. Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born, and brought us God's Salvation that blessed Christmas morn' Go, tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born.

He’s making a list, Checking it twice, 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 Jingle Bells Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh, O’er 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. O Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

The First Noel The first noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay. In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, on a cold winter's night that was so deep noel, noel, noel, noel. Born is the King of Israel. Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord, That hath made heaven and earth of naught And with His blood mankind hath bought. Noel Noel Noel Noel! Born is the King of Israel!
