And ever o’er its Babel sounds Jingle bell rock
The blessed angels sing.
Jingle-bell, jingle-bell, jingle-bell rock
O ye beneath life’s crushing load, Jingle-bell swing and jingle-bell ring
Whose forms are bending low, Snowin’ and blowin’ up bushels of fun
Who toil along the climbing way Now the jingle hop has begun
With painful steps and slow;
Look now, for glad and golden hours Jingle-bell, jingle-bell, jingle-bell rock
Come swi ly on the wing; Jingle-bells chime in jingle-bell me
Oh rest beside the weary road Dancin’ and prancin’ in Jingle-bell
And hear the angels sing. Square
In the frosty air.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old, What a bright me, it’s the right me
When with the ever-circling years To rock the night away
Shall come the me foretold, Jingle-bell me is a swell me
When the new heaven and earth shall To go riding in a one-horse sleigh

The Prince of Peace, their King, Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Which now the angels sing. That’s the jingle-bell,
That’s the jingle-bell,
That’s the jingle-bell rock!
Jingle bells
Dashing through the snow Joy to the world
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the elds we go Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Laughing all the way Let earth receive her King;
Bells on bob tails ring Let every heart prepare Him room,
Making spirits bright And Heaven and nature sing,
What fun it is to laugh and sing And Heaven and nature sing,
A sleighing song tonight And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature
sing.
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns!
Oh, what fun it is to ride Let men their songs employ;

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Shall come to thee, O Israel. Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free Proclaim the holy birth
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny And praises sing to God the King
From depths of Hell Thy people save And Peace to men on earth.
And give them victory o’er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! ... How silently, how silently
The wondrous gi is given!
O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and So God imparts to human hearts
cheer The blessings of His heaven.
Our spirits by Thine advent here No ear may hear His coming,
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night But in this world of sin,
And death’s dark shadows put to ight. Where meek souls will receive him s ll,
Rejoice! Rejoice! ... The dear Christ enters in.

O’er Bethlehem it took its rest And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
And there it did both pause and stay To do poor sinners good
Right o’er the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel! The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn;
Then entered in those Wise men three And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
Full reverently upon their knee On Christmas Day in the morn.
And o ered there in His presence [Refrain]
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell The holly bears a bark
Born is the King of Israel! As bi er as any gall;
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
Then let us all with one accord For to redeem us all.
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord [Refrain]
That hath made Heaven and earth of
nought The holly and the ivy
And with his blood mankind has bought. Now both are full well grown,
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Of all the trees that are in the wood,
Born is the King of Israel! The holly bears the crown.

Gold I bring to crown Him again
On the ninth day of Christmas,
King forever, ceasing never
my true love sent to me
Over us all to reign
Nine ladies dancing …
