Ding Dong Merrily
on High
Arrangement Dan Walker
Ding Dong merrily on high,
In heav’n the bells are ringing
Ding dong Verily the sky
Is riv’n with angels singing;
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis.
Hark how here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
and io io io
By priest and people sungen
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis.
Praise you dutifully prime,
your matin chime, ye-ringers,
May you beautifully rhyme
Your eve-time song ye singers
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis.

Jingle Bell Rock

The Christmas Song

Jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell rock

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun

Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir

Now the jingle hop has begun

And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell rock

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Help to make the season bright

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

In the frosty air

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

What a bright time

They know that Santa’s on his way

It’s the right time

He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

To rock the night away

And every mother’s child is gonna spy

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To see if reindeer really know how to fly

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse

And so I’m offering this simple phrase

pick up your feet

To kids from one to ninety-two

Jingle around the clock

Although it’s been said many times, many ways

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling beat

Merry Christmas to you

That’s the jingle bell
That’s the jingle bell
That’s the jingle bell rock

05

Sing with the Angels

Aussie Jingle Bells

I’m gonna sing with the angels,

Dashing through the bush

“Glory, hallelujah,”

In a rusty Holden Ute

sing with the angels, “Peace on Earth.”

Kicking up the dust

I’m gonna sing with the angels,”

Esky in the boot, Kelpie by my side

Glory in the highest.”

Singing Christmas songs

Come and celebrate the baby’s birth.

It’s summer time and I am in
My singlet, shorts & thongs

While shepherds living the fields were
watching flocks by night,

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way

An angel of the Lord appeared to

Christmas in Australia

them in heav’nly light.

On a scorching summer’s day

“Do not be afraid,” he said.

Jingle bells, jingle bells

“I bring you news of great joy.

Christmas time is beaut!

For lying in a manger bed, you’ll

Oh what fun it is to ride, In a rusty Holden ute

find a baby boy.”
Engine’s getting hot
Chorus

We dodge the kangaroos

And suddenly the air was filled

A swaggy climbs aboard

with angels all around.

He is welcome too

And “Glory in the highest.”

All the family is there, Sitting by the pool

Rang out their thund’ring sound.

Christmas day, the Aussie way

“Heaven now has come to Earth,

By the barbecue!

today in Bethlehem.
A child of hope, a wondrous birth,

Come the afternoon, Grandpa has a doze

with peace, good-will to men.”

The kids and uncle Bruce
Are swimming in their clothes

Chorus

The time comes round to go

Glor----------------ia, in excelsis Deo.

We take a family snap

Glor----------------ia, in excelsis Deo.

Then pack the car and all shoot through
Before the washing up

Do You Hear What I Hear?
Said the night wind to the little lamb,

A Child, a Child shivers in the cold--

Do you see what I see?

Let us bring him silver and gold,

Way up in the sky, little lamb,

Let us bring him silver and gold.

Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night

Said the king to the people everywhere,

With a tail as big as a kite,

Listen to what I say!

With a tail as big as a kite.

The Child, the Child sleeping in the night,

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,

He will bring us goodness and light,

Do you hear what I hear?

He will bring us goodness and light.

Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,

Said the king to the people everywhere,

Do you hear what I hear?

Listen to what I say,

A song, a song high above the trees

Pray for peace, people, everywhere,

With a voice as big as the sea,

Listen to what I say!

With a voice as big as the sea.
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,

The Child, the Child sleeping in the night

Do you know what I know?

He will bring us goodness and light,

In your palace walls, mighty king,

He will bring us goodness and light

Do you know what I know?

Bring us Light.

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 poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
‘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

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
Santa Claus is coming to town
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
Santa Claus is coming to town
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
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

Let it Snow

Silent Night

Oh the weather outside is frightful

Silent night, holy night,

But the fire is so delightful

all is calm, all is bright

And since we’ve no place to go

round yon virgin mother and child.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Holy infant, so tender and mild,
sleep in heavenly peace,

It doesn’t show signs of stopping

sleep in heavenly peace.

And I’ve brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low

Silent night, holy night,

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

shepherds first saw the sight;
glories stream from heaven afar,

When we finally kiss goodnight

heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!

How I hate going out in the storm

Christ the Saviour is born,

But if you really hold me tight

Christ the Saviour is born!

All the way home
I’ll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And my dear we’re still goodbye-ing
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
