2. 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 we, we got upsot. Refrain:

3. A day or two ago, The story I must tell

I went out on the snow And on my back I fell; A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh, He laughed as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away. Refrain:

4. Now the ground is white Go it while you' re young, Take the girls tonight

And sing this sleighing song; Just get a bobtailed bay Two-forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you' ll take the lead. Refrain:

3. 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.

2. They lookd up and saw a star, Shining in the east beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night: Refrain:

3. And by the light of that same star, Three Wise Men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wheresoever it went: Refrain:

4. This star drew nigh tothe northwest; O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay: Refrain:

5. Then did they know assuredly Within that house the King did lie: One entered in then for to see, And found the Babe in poverty: Refrain:

6. Then entered in those Wise Men three, Fell reverently upon their knee, And offered there in His presence

Both gold and myrrh and frankincense: Refrain:

7. Between an ox-stall and an ass This Child truly there born He was; For want of clothing they did Him lay All in the manger, among the hay: Refrain:

8. Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,

That hath made heav'n and earth of naught, And with His blood mankind hath bought: Refrain:

9. If we in our time shall do well, We shall be free from death and hell; For God hath prepard for us all A resting place in general: Refrain:
