Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun Now the jingle hop has begun Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time Dancing and prancing 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 gliding in a one-horse sleigh Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet Jingle around the clock ---

Tall in the saddle, we spend Christmas Day, driving the cattle over snow covered-plains. All of the good gifts given today, ours is the sky and the wide open range. Back in the cities they have different ways, football and eggnog and Christmas parades. I’ll take my saddle, I’ll take the reins, It’s Christmas for cowboys wide-open plains. A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night, the stars overhead are Christmas tree lights. The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray, It’s Christmas for cowboys, wide-open plains. ---

Paul is making me nervous Paul is making me scared Walk into this room and swaggers Like he’s God’s own messenger Changed the name of my brother Changed the things that he said Says he speaks to him But he never even knew the man But I’d give my life for him Like water through my hands You’d give him any ending But if he’s all you say Would he fly from heaven To this world again To this world again ---

From Heaven above to earth I come, To bear good news to every home; Glad tidings of great joy I bring, Whereof I now will say and sing. To you, this night, is born a Child Of Mary, chosen mother mild; This tender Child of lowly birth, Shall be the joy of all your earth. ---

Once in royal David’s city, Stood a lowly cattle shed; Where a mother laid her Baby, In a manger for a bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little Child. ---

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 nature sing. Joy to the world, the Savior reigns! Let all their songs employ; while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy. No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground; he comes to make his blessings flow far as the curse is found, far as the curse is found, 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 of his love. ---

The first thing that I saw as, The fisherman smiled at me Were empty people dressed in grey, Floating out to sea The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence The small fish gave a cry The next thing that I saw as, Things were fading fast Were dreams of children’s laughter, Smoldering to dust The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence The small fish gave a cry ---

And just when you mean to tell her That you have no love to give her Then she gets you on her wavelength And she lets the river answer That you’ve always been her lover And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you know that she will trust you For you’ve touched her perfect body with your mind. And Jesus was a sailor When he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching From his lonely wooden tower And when he knew for certain Only drowning men could see him He said “All men will be sailors then Until the sea shall free them” But he himself was broken Long before the sky would open Forsaken, almost human He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone ---
