Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleighO’er the fields we go laughing all the wayBells on bob tails ring, making spirits brightWhat fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight

Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the wayOh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleighOh jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the wayOh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Rudolph The Red-Nosed ReindeerRudolph the red-nosed reindeerHad a very shiny noseAnd if you ever saw himYou would even say it glowsAll of the other reindeerUsed to laugh and call him namesThey never let poor RudolphJoin in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas EveSanta came to say“Rudolph with your nose so bright,Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight”Then all the reindeer loved himAnd they shouted out with glee“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeerYou’ll go down in history!”

A WORD FROM OUR LEAD PASTORS

O Holy NightO Holy night, the stars are brightly shiningIt is the night of our dear Saviour’s birthLong lay the world in sin and error piningTill He appeared and the soul felt its worthA thrill of hope, the weary world rejoicesFor yonder breaks a new and glorious mornFall on your knees, oh hear the angels’ voicesOh night divine! Oh night, when Christ was bornOh night divine! Oh night, when Christ was born

Led by the light of faith serenely beamingWith glowing hearts by His cradle we stand Over the world a star is sweetly gleamingNow come the wise men from Orient landThe King of Kings lay in the lowly mangerIn all our trials born to be our friendHe knows our need, to our weakness is no strangerBehold your King! Before him lowly bend!Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one anotherHis law is love and His gospel is peace Chains shall he break for the slave is our brotherAnd in his name all oppression shall ceaseSweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise weLet all within us praise His holy nameChrist is the Lord! O praise His name foreverHis power and glory we ever more proclaim!His power and glory we ever more proclaim!Oh night, divine! Oh night when Christ was born

AD3

A WORD FROM OUR LEAD PASTORS

Away In A MangerAway in a manger, no crib for a bedThe little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet headThe stars in the bright sky looked down where He layThe little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakesBut little Lord Jesus no crying He makesI love Thee, Lord Jesus look down from the skyAnd stay by my side, ‘til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stayClose by me forever and love me I prayBless all the dear children in Thy tender careAnd take us to heaven to live with Thee there

Silent Night Silent night, holy night, all is calm all is brightRound yon virgin mother and childHoly infant so tender and mildSleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, Holy night, Shepherds quake at the sightGlories stream from heaven afarHeavenly hosts sing HallelujahChrist the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born

Silent night, Holy night, Son of God, love’s pure lightRadiant beams from Thy holy faceWith the dawn of redeeming graceJesus, Lord at Thy birth, Jesus, Lord at Thy birth

Have Yourself A Merry Little ChristmasHave yourself a merry little ChristmasLet your heart be lightFrom now on our troubles will be out of sightHave yourself a merry little ChristmasMake the Yuletide gayFrom now on our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden daysHappy golden days of YoreFaithful friends who are dear to usGather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be togetherIf the fates allowHang a shining star upon the highest boughAnd have yourself a merry little Christmas now
