Jingle Bells 03:05
Dashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtail ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh 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 We got into a drifted bank and then we got upsot Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Now the ground is white Go it while you're young Take your friends tonight And sing this sleighing song Just get a bobtail bay 2/40 as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack you'll take the lead Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh

Jolly Old Saint Nicolas Lean your ear this way Don't you tell a single soul What I'm going to say Christmas Eve is coming soon Now you dear old man Whisper what you'll bring to me Tell me if you can When the clock is striking twelve When I'm fast asleep Down the chimney broad and black With your pack you'll creep All the stockings you will find Hanging in a row Mine will be the shortest one You'll be sure to know Jolly Old Saint Nicolas Lean your ear this way Don't you tell a single soul What I'm going to say Christmas Eve is coming soon Now you dear old man Whisper what you'll bring to me Tell me if you can Johnny wants a pair of skates Susie wants a bear Nellie wants a story book With some toys to share As for me dear Santa Claus I won't ask for much Spread some joy round all the world That will be enough Jolly Old Saint Nicolas Lean your ear this way Don't you tell a single soul What I'm going to say Christmas Eve is coming soon Now you dear old man Spread some joy round all the world I know that you can

The first noel the angels 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 They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far And to the earth it gave great light And so they continued both day and night Noel, noel, noel, noel Born is the King of Israel Noel, noel, noel, noel Born is the King of Israel

I saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day I saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas Day in the morning And what was in those ships all three On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day And what was in those ships all three On Christmas Day in the morning Twas Jesus Christ and Mary there On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day Twas Jesus Christ and Mary there On Christmas Day in the morning Oh they sailed into Bethlehem On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day Oh they sailed into Bethlehem On Christmas Day in the morning And all the bells on earth will ring On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day And all the bells on earth will ring On Christmas Day in the morning So let us all rejoice again On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day So let us all rejoice again On Christmas Day in the morning So let us all rejoice again On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day So let us all rejoice again On Christmas Day in the morning

God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay Remember Christ our savior was born on Christmas Day To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy From 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 Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced with much in mind And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm and wind And went to Bethlehem straightway this blessed babe to find Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy But when to Bethlehem they came whereas this infant lay They found him in a manger where oxen feed on hay His Mother Mary kneeling there unto the Lord did pray Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy Oh 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 Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy

What child is this who laid to rest on Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherd's watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him laud the babe, the son of Mary Why lies he in such mean estate, where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians fear for sinners here, the silent word is pleading Nails, spears shall pierce him through The cross be born for me, for you Hail, hail the word made flesh the babe, the son of Mary So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh Come peasant, king to own him The King of Kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone him Raise, raise a song on high The Virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born the babe, the son of Mary

Silent Night 03:19
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 hallelujah 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 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
