JINGLE BELLS

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.
Dashing through the snow
On 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, oh!

In a one-horse open sleigh.
AWAY IN A MANGER

Asleep on the hay.

The Baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes.

Look down from the sky,
And stay by my side
Till morning is nigh.
Verse 3
Be near me, Lord Jesus,

Close by me forever,
And love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven
To live with Thee there.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Verse 1
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer,
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.
And all of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.
Chorus
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!"
