RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER Words and Music by Johnny Marks

Dm7 Em G7 C Dm7 Em G7 You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen. Comet and Cupid and Donner and C Am E7 Am D7 G7 Blitzen, but do you recall the most famous reindeer of all? C G7 Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer had a very shinny nose, and if you ever saw it, you would C G7 even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names; they never let G C7 F G Dm G7 poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas eve, Santa came to C G D7 G7 C say, "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?" Then how the G7 reindeer loved him, as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, you’ll go C down in history.

SILVER BELLS Words and Music by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans

C F D7 G7

1.) City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style. In the air there’s a feeling of C F D7 G7 Christmas. Children laughing, people passing, Meeting smile after smile, And on every

C F G7 C Street corner you hear: Silver bells, silver bells, its Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, F G7 C Here them ring; soon it will be Christmas Day. 2.) Strings of street lights even stop lights, Blink a bright red and green, As the shoppers

rush home with their treasures. Hear the snow crunch, see the kid’s bunch, This is Santa’s big scene, And above all the bustle you hear: Silver bells, silver bells, its Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas Day.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane snow is glistening. A beautiful sight, we’re

happy tonight Walking in a winter wonderland. Gone away is the blue-bird, here to stay

D7 G7

is a new bird, He sings a love song, as we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland. In

the meadow we can build a snowman, And pretend that he is Parson Brown. He’ll say

C G A7 D7 G7

“Are you married?” We’ll say “No man!” But you can do the job when you’re in town.

C G7

Later on we’ll conspire, as we dream by the fire. To face unafraid, the plans that we

D7 G7 C

made, Walking in a winter wonderland.

C F C G7 C

1.) O holy night, the stars are brightly shining; it is the night of the dear Savior's birth F C Em B7 Em Long lay the world in sin and error pining, till he appeared and the soul felt its worth. A G7 C G7 C Thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Am Em Dm Am C G7 C F C G7 Fall on your knees, Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was C G7 C F C G7 C Born! O night, O holy night, O night divine!

2.) Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and his gospel is peace; Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother, and in his name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise his holy name; Christ is the Lord, O praise His name for-ever! His power and glory ever more proclaim! His power and glory ever more proclaim.

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN S.Nelson, J.Rollins(c) 1950

G G7 C G C G Frosty the Snow Man was a jolly happy soul, with a corn-cob pipe and a button nose and D7 G D7 G G7 C G C Two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the Snow Man is a fairy tale they say He was made G Em Am D7 G C Of snow but the children know how he came to life one day. There must have been some G Am D7 G D Em7 Magic in that old silk hat they found, for when they placed it on his head he began to A7 D G G7 C G C Dance around. Oh, Frosty the Snow Man was alive as he could be, and the children say G Em Am D7 G He could laugh and play just the same as you and me.

Frosty the Snow Man knew the sun was hot that day, so he said,” Let’s run and we'll have some fun now before I melt away.” Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand, running here and there all around the square, saying "Catch me if you can.” He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop, and he only paused a moment when he heard him holler, "Stop!" Frosty the Snow Man had to hurry on his way, but he waved good-bye, saying, "Don't you cry; I’ll be back again some day." Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, look at Frosty go.Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, over the hills of snow.

Em D Em Am B7

What child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary's lap, is sleeping,

Em D Em B7 Em

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping?

G D Em Am B7 G

This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to

D Em B7 Em

Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear for sinners here, The silent Word is pleading? Nails, spears shall

Pierce Him through, the cross be borne for me. for you; Hail, hail the word made

flesh, the babe the son of Mary!

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come peasant king to own Him, The King of kings, salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him. Raise, raise the song on high, The Virgin sings her lullaby: Joy, joy, for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary!
