LYRICS FOR NURSING HOME CAROLING VISIT 2022
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow – in a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go – laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring – making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.
(Chorus:)
Jingle bells – jingle bells – jingle all the way!
Oh what fun – it is to ride – in a one-horse open sleigh – Hey!
Jingle bells – jingle bells – jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!
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 all the reindeer loved him – as they 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.
Away in a Manger
Away in a manger – no crib for his 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 side until morning is nigh.
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 the 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!”
Dreidel Song
I have a little dreidel – I made it out of clay.
And when it’s dry and ready – Oh dreidel I shall play.
Oh dreidel – dreidel – dreidel – I made it out of clay.
And when it’s dry and ready – 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 – I made it out of clay.
And when it’s dry and ready – Then dreidel I shall play.
My dreidel’s always playful – It loves to dance and spin.
A happy game of dreidel – Come play, now let’s begin.
Oh dreidel – dreidel – dreidel – I made it out of clay.
And when it’s dry and ready – Then dreidel I shall play.
The First Noel
The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked 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
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
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!
Joy to the World
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.
No more let sins and sorrows grow; nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make….His blessing flow
Far as the curse is found, far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as…the curse is found.
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.
