Lyrics - Sleigh Ride
Lyrics - Sleigh Ride
Let’s go for a sleigh ride! A wonderful sleigh ride!
Come hurry along with a song, in a wintery world to glide!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "yoo hoo,"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Let's go, Let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
It's grand, Just holding your hand,
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch
The chestnuts pop. Pop! Pop! Pop!
There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "yoo hoo",
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
Let's go, Let's look at the show,
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
It's grand, Just holding your hand,
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather now
We’re together now. Bells are jingling, ring-ting-tingling.
Snow is falling and friends are calling
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you!

Lyrics - Star of Wonder
Lyrics - Star of Wonder
Star of wonder, star so bright, guide me on my way,
then maybe I will find the gift of love and light. Lead me to the little baby.
Star of wonder, star so bright, guide me on my way,
then maybe I will find the gift of love and light. Lead me to the little baby.
I’ve been told there’s a baby boy lying in the hay.
Bring us peace, bring us joy, bring us love today.
Shepherds wake, hear the angels sing, “Glory, glory in the highest! Hallelujah!”
People coming, see them following the star that’s shining brightest!
Star of wonder, star so bright, guide me on my way,
then maybe I will find the gift of love and light. Lead me to the little baby.
Star of wonder, star so bright, guide me on my way,
then maybe I will find the gift of love and light. Lead me to the little baby.
I will find the gift of love and light. Lead me to the little baby.
Lead me to the little baby.
Jingle Bells

Lyrics - Jingle Bells
Lyrics - Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow
In 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! 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.
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 then we got upsot.

Lyrics - Fantasia on the Christmas Carols
Herefordshire Carol
This is the truth sent from above,
The truth of God, the God of love;
Therefore don’t turn me from your door,
But hearken all, both rich and poor.
The first thing, which I will relate,
Is that God did man create
The next thing which to you I’ll tell,
Woman was made with man to dwell.
Then after this, ‘twas God’s own choice
To place them both in Paradise,
There to remain from evil free
Except they ate of such a tree.
And they did eat, which was a sin,
And thus their ruin did begin;
Ruined themselves, both you and me,
And all of their posterity.
Thus we were heirs to endless woes,
Till God the Lord did interpose
For so a promise soon did run
That He would redeem us by his Son.
The Somerset Carol
Come all you worthy gentlemen
That may be standing by.
Christ our blessed Saviour
Was born on Christmas day.
The blessed virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did say,
“O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!”
Christ our blessed Saviour
Now in the manger lay;
He's lying in the manger,
While the oxen fed on hay.
The blessed Virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did pray.
“O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy!”
Sussex Carol
On Christmas night all Christians sing
to hear the news the angels bring;
News of great joy, news of great mirth,
news of our merciful King’s birth.
When sin departs before Thy grace,
then life and health come in its place;
Angels and men with joy may sing,
all for to see the newborn King.
Somerset & Sussex continued
God bless the ruler of this house,
And long on may he reign;
Many happy Christmases
He live to see again!
God bless our generation
Who live both far and near;
And we wish them a Happy New Year!
From out of darkness we have light,
which made the angels sing this night;
“Glory to God and peace to men,
now and forevermore. Amen.”
And we wish you a Happy New Year,
Both now and evermore. Amen

Lyrics - A Christmas Sing-A-Long
Lyrics - A Christmas Sing-A-Long
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!
**
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
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord!
**
Deck the halls with bough 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 Yuletide carol
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
**
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
**
The First Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!
**
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
**
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year!
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
