Lilydale Carols Lyrics

AUSSIE JINGLE BELLS
Dashing through the bush in a rusty Holden Ute
Kicking up the dust, esky in the boot
Kelpie by my side singing Christmas songs
It’s Summer time & I am in my singlet, shorts & thongs
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer’s day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute
Engine’s getting hot – we dodge the kangaroos
The swaggie climbs aboard, he is welcome too.
All the family’s there sitting by the pool
Christmas Day the Aussie way by the barbecue.
Chorus
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer’s day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute
Come the afternoon Grandpa has a doze
The kids & Uncle Bruce are swimming in their clothes
The time comes ’round to go we take the family snap
Pack the car & all shoot through before the washing up
Chorus
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer’s day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute

AWAY IN A MANGER
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the 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 cradle ’til morning is nigh
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And take us to Heaven to live with Thee there

HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new-born King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild;
God and sinners reconciled.”
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With angelic hosts proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem.”
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
Christ, by highest heaven 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 Immanuel.
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen 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 new born King

JINGLE BELLS
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
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, 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
A day or 2 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 slipped upon a drifted bank
And then we got upset.
Oh, 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

JINGLE BELL ROCK
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chimes in jingle bell time
Snowin’ and blowin’ up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin’ and prancin’ 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 ridin’ in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin’ feet
That’s the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin’ and prancin’ 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 din’ in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin’ feet
That’s the jingle bell
That’s the jingle bell
That’s the jingle bell rock
JOY TO

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 heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the Earth! the Saviour reigns;
Let all their songs employ;
While fields & floods, rocks, hills, & plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
No more let sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
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, wonders, of His love

OH 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
Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God in the highest
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him, Christ the lord
Yea Lord we greet thee
Born this happy morning
Jesus to thee be glory given
Word of the father now in flesh appearing
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him, Christ the lord

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

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He’s making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who’s naughty and nice

He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness’ sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He’s making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who’s naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness’ sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

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!
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
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

WE THREE KINGS OF ORIENT ARE
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.
O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Now bring some right here
Good tidings we bring for you and your kin

And a happy New Year!

WHITE CHRISTMAS
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
