| "You're All I Want For Christmas" |
|
|
Oh come, let us adore Him, Christ, Christ the Lord.
Oh, come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Oh, come ye, oh, come ye, to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him, born the King of angels;
Oh, come, let us adore Him, oh, come, let us adore Him,
Oh come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;
Oh, sing, all ye citizens of heav’n above!
Glory to God, in the highest glory;
Oh, come, let us adore Him, oh, come, let us adore Him,
Oh come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Oh come, let us adore Him, Christ, Christ the Lord.
"Oh Come All Ye Faithful" on the A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra album was Sinatra's first full-length Christmas album released by Capitol Records in 1957. It features the Ralph Brewer Singers along with an orchestra conducted by Gordon Jenkins.

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heav’n and nature sing,
And heav’n and nature sing,
And heav’n, and heav’n, and nature sing.
Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
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, wonders, of His love.
Commonly thought of as a Christmas song today, it was originally written to celebrate the second coming of Christ's reign here on earth. Read the lyrics carefully, and you will note there is nothing about Christmas, but rather a celebration of a sinless world that Christ's regin will bring.
Nat King Cole (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965) conquered the pop charts in the Fifties and early Sixties as a warm-voiced singer of orchestrated ballads like “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable” and breezy, countrified sing-alongs like “Ramblin’ Rose” and
“Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer.”

Perry Como
Written by James Lord Pierpont (1857)
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!
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 ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
In a one-horse open sleigh ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
O'er the fields we go ( o'er the fields, jingle, jingle! )
Laughin' all the way!
Bells on bob-tail ring ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Makin' spirits bright ( la, la, la la! )
What fun it is to ride an' 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,
Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh!
A day or two ago ( a day or two ago . . . )
I thought I'd take a ride (I thought I'd take a ride . . . )
And soon miss fanny bride ( and soon miss fanny bride . . . )
Was seated by my side . . . ( the horse was lean and lank )
Misfortune seemed his lot,
He got into a drifted bank,
And we . . .
We got up sot!
Oh! jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
( oh what fun it is to ride . . . ) In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
(oh what fun it is to ride . . . ) In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey!
Now the ground is white ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Go it while you're young ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Take the girls tonight ( take the girls tonight . . . )
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a bob-tailed nag ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Two-forty for his speed
Then hitch
An' crack you'll take the lead!
Oh! jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride . . . In a one-horse open sleigh!
"Jingle Bells" is one of the best known and commonly sung winter songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822–1893) and copyrighted under the title 'One Horse Open Sleigh' on September 16, 1857. Despite being inextricably connected to Christmas, it is not specifically a Christmas song. It is one of many "joyful songs" written in New England during the late 19th century.
