Joy to the World
[Psalm
98, Isaac Watts and Lowell Mason, 1839]
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 heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
while fields and floods,
rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth and
grace,
and makes the nations prove
the glories of His righteousness,
and wonders of His love,
and wonders of His love,
and wonders, wonders of His love.

Jingle Bell Rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle
bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time,
it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time
is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh.
Giddy-up jingle horse,
pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling beat
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock!

I Have a Little Dreidel
I have a little dreidel,
I made it out of clay,
And when it's dry and ready,
Then dreidel I shall play!
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
I made it out of clay;
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
Then dreidel I shall play.
It has a lovely body,
With legs so short and thin,
And when it gets all tired,
It drops and then I win!
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
With leg so short and thin,
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
It drops and then I win!

Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer
Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolf
play in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolf 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!"
hey shouted out with glee:
"Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!"

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.
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia;
Christ the Savior, is born!
Christ the Savior, is born!
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
