CHRISTMAS SING-ALONG
By John Finnegan

JINGLE BELLS
REFRAIN:
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!

VERSE:
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
Oh, what fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight

REPEAT REFRAIN

JOY TO THE WORLD!
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 heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

DECK THE HALL
Deck the hall with boughs of holly
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.

IT CAME UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR 
It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
to touch their harps of gold:
“Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From heavens all gracious King!”
The world in solemn stillness lay
to hear the angels sing.

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 the angelic host proclaim: 
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Hark! The herald angels sing 
Glory to the newborn King!

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

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;

REFRAIN:
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
