Angel’s Lullaby
In a city, a holy city came news of comfort and great joy,
the Virgin Mary had borne a Savior, the Christ Child, a tiny boy.
They called him Jesu, Christe Jesu, Christe Jesu, and Emmanuel,
Jesu, Christe Jesu, and Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
Then came wise men to the stable, and as they were passing by,
they heard the angels gently singing, singing a lullaby.
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus Dominum,
Venite adoremus, adoremus Dominum.
Then the wise men and all the shepherds and all the people standing by,
joined their praises to God by singing, singing this lullaby.
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus Dominum,
Venite adoremus, adoremus Dominum.
Oo_______
the angels’ lullaby, lullaby, lullaby.
Silver Bells
Christmas makes you feel emotional.
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional.
Whatever happens or what may be,
Here is what Christmas time means to me.
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 ev’ry street corner you hear:
The clear sound of Silver bells, silver bells, It’s Christmas time in the city. The city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, Soon it will be Christmas day.
Silver bells, hear them ring, ting-a-ling.
Strings of street lights, even stop lights blink a bright red and green,
As the shoppers rush home with treasures.
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, this is Santa’s big scene, And above all this bustle you hear:
The clear sound of Silver bells, silver bells, It’s Christmas time in the city. The city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, Soon it will be Christmas day.
There a sound all around of silver bells.
Goin’ On a Sleigh Ride
Goin’ on a sleigh ride. (3 times)
Hitch up the horses, jump inside; now is the time to take a ride.
Over the river and
through the wood to Grandmother’s house we go.
The horse knows the way
to carry the sleigh
Goin’ on a sleigh ride.
Over the river and
through the wood, Oh, how the wind does blow.
It stings the toes and bites the nose as over the ground we go.
Goin’ on a sleigh ride, oo. (3 times)
Hitch up the horses, jump inside; now is the time to take a ride.
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh.
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring. They’re making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.
Oh,_______ jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.
We’re singing jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh ride.
Goin’ on a sleigh ride. Goin’ on a sleigh ride. Let’s go!
The Bells
Hear the sledges with the bells, Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night!
While the stars that over sprinkle
All the heavens seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
Jingle, jingle, tinkle, tinkle, (7 times)
Antiphonal Deck the Hall
Deck the hall with boughs of holly.
‘Tis the season to be jolly.
Don we now our gay apparel.
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol.
Fa la la la____, fa la la la____,
fa la la la____, fa la la - la la la.
Fa la la la____, fa la la la,
fa la la la____, Deck the hall.
Fa la la la____.
Jingle, jingle, tinkle, How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars that over sprinkle
All the heavens seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of runic rhyme,
To the jing, jing, jing, jing, jing,
From the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells
Jing, jing, jing,
Jingle, jingle, tinkle, tinkle, (3 times)
Jing!
Jing!
See the blazing Yule before us.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Follow me in merry measure.
While I tell of Yuletide treasure.
Deck the hall with boughs of holly.
‘Tis the season to be jolly.
Follow me in merry measure.
While I tell of Yuletide treasure.
Fast away the old year passes.
Fast away the old year passes.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses.
