A Christmas Festival Sing-Along!
​
Joy to the world, the Lord is come.
Let earth receive her King.
Let every 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.
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!
Toll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la la!
God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.
Remember, Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan’s pow’r when we were gone astray.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy. Comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Good King Wenceslas look’d out, On the feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round-a-bout, Deep and crisp and even.
Brightly shone the moon that night, Though the frost was cru-el,
When a poor man came in sight, Gath’ring winter fu-el.
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 angelic hosts proclaim; “Christ is born in Bethlehem.”
Hark! The herald angels sing; “Glory to the newborn King!”
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.
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh.
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way. Ha Ha Ha.
Bells on bob tail ring making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight. Oh,
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Hey!
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. Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!
Glory to God! Glory in the highest!
O come, let us adore Him.
O come, let us adore Him.
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!
