CAROLS AT THE VAN
WEDNESDAY 17TH DECEMBER, 6PM
Jingle Bells
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
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
Over the hills we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on Bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
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
2) 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 th’angelic host proclaim:
“Christ is born in Bethlehem.”
Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”
Christ by highest heav'n adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of a Virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
Hail the incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”
Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Ris'n with healing in His wings.
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”
3) 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 Saviour is born!
Christ the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
4) 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
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord!
God of God, Light of Light
Lo, He abhors not the Virgin's womb
Very God
Begotten, not created
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord!
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God
All 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!
5) Away in a Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
The little lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
But little lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
And stay by my bedside till morning is nigh.
Be near me, lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay
Close by me for ever and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there.
6) Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay, is the new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you married? We'll say, no man
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
7) Once in Royal David’s City
Once in royal David's city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall.
With the poor and meek and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him, but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high.
When like stars His children crowned,
All in white shall be around.
8) Ding Dong Merrily on High
Ding Dong! Merrily on high,
In heav’n the bells are ringing!
Ding, dong! Verily the sky,
Is riv’n with angel singing!
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
E’en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen.
And i-o, i-o, i-o,
By priest and people sungen.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
Pray ye dutifully prime,
Your matin chime, ye ringers.
May ye beautifully rime,
Your evetime song, ye singers.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
9) Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree
Rockin' around the Christmas tree,
At the Christmas party hop.
Mistletoe hung where you can see,
Every couple tries to stop.
Rockin' around the Christmas tree,
Let the Christmas spirit ring.
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie,
And we'll do some carolling.
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,
Voices singing, let's be jolly!
Deck the halls with boughs of holly!
Rockin' around the Christmas tree,
Have a happy holiday!
Everyone dancin' merrily,
In the new old-fashioned way
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,
Voices singing, let's be jolly!
Deck the halls with boughs of holly!
Rockin' around the Christmas tree,
Have a happy holiday!
Everyone dancin' merrily,
In the new old-fashioned way!
