Jingle Bells
- James Lord Pierpont
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.
Jingle Bell Rock
- Bobby Helms
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,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock.
Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
- Author Unknown
Jolly old Saint Nicholas,
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
Bobby wants a pair of skates,
Suzy wants a sled
Nellie wants a picture book,
yellow, blue, and red
Now I think I'll leave to you
what to give the rest
Choose for me, dear Santa Claus;
you will know the best.
Joseph Was An Old Man
- Author Unknown
Joseph was an old man,
An old man was he,
He married Virgin Mary,
The Queen of Galilee.
As Joseph and Mary was walking,
Was walking one day,
'Here are apples, here are cherries,'
Mary did say.
Then Mary said to Joseph,
So meek and so mild,
'Joseph gather me some cherries,
For I am with child.'
Then Joseph flew in anger,
In anger flew he,
'Let the father of the baby
Gather cherries for thee.'
Jesus spoke a few words,
A few words spoke he,
'Give my mother some cherries,
Bow down, cherry tree!
'Bow down, cherry tree,
Low down to the ground:'
Mary gathered cherries,
And Joseph stood around.
Then Joseph took Mary
All on his right knee,
'What have I done, Lord?
Have mercy on me.'
Then Joseph took Mary
All on his left knee,
'Oh tell me, little Baby,
When thy birthday will be.'
'The sixth of January
My birthday will be,
The stars in the elements
Will tremble with glee.
Joy to the World
- Author Unknown
Joy to the world! The Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry 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.
Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground.
He comes to make his blessings flow,
For as the curse is found,
For as the curse is found,
For as, for as the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glory of His Righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love
And wonders, and wonders of His love.
