Parade Day, Supplement of The Canadian Statesman/Newcastle Independent, Wednesday, November 13, 1991 5 ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS ON HIGH JINGLE BELLS Dashing thro' the snow In a one horse open sleigh, O'er 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! Jingle, bells; Jingle, bells! Jingle all the way! 0 what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh! A day or two ago 1 thought I'd take a ride, And soon Miss Fannie Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seem'd his lot He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got up-sot. Now the ground is white, Go it while you're young, Take the girls tonight, And sing the sleighing song' Just get a bob-tailed nag Two forty for his speed, Then hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack! you'll take the lead. AWAY IN A MANGER Away in a manger, No crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus Laid 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 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 cradle. Till 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. Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o'er the plains. And the mountains in reply, Echoing their joyous strains. Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria in excelsis Deo. Shepherds why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heav'nly song? Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria in excelsis Deo. Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord the newborn King. Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria in excelsis Deo. See Him in a manger laid Whom the choirs of angels praise; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While your hearts in love we raise. Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria in excelsis Deo. 'Twas down in Old New England, One snowy Christmas Eve. A note beside a stocking told What Santa Claus should leave. A couple sat there watching, The fireside's dying glow, He said "I'm glad it's Christmas Eve, 'Cause baby loves it so. " Refrain "'Twas the night before Christmas, And all thro' the house Not a creature was stirring, Not even a mouse." But up in the cradle, The baby believes In Santa Claus coming, On Christmas Day Eve. The years were quick in passing, The old folks hair is gray. A lad from out the city took Their little girl away. A pretty bride and happy, But still the old folks grieve, As they watch the dying embers, For again 'Tis Christmas Eve.
