Gospel Bells
(sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)
Gospel Bells,Gospel Bells, ring them all the day,
Ring them while you’re at your work, and while you’re at your play,
Gospel Bells, Gospel Bells, ring them all the day,
Ring out the news that Jesus came to take our sins away!

Joy to The World
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.
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.

And wonders, wonders of His love.
Happy Birthday Jesus
Happy Birthday Jesus,
I’m so glad its Christmas,
All the tinsel and lights,
And the presents are nice,
But the real gift is you.
Happy Birthday Jesus,
I’m so glad its Christmas,
All the carols and bells,
Make the holidays swell,
And it’s all about you.
Happy Birthday Jesus,
Jesus, I love you.

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
