Orlando Philharmonic Holiday Singalong Lyrics – 2025

Hark! the Harald Angels Sing

Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!
Joyful all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th’angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King.

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child.
Holy Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Away in a Manger

Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the sky,
Looking down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep in the hay.

Deck the Hall

Deck the Hall with boughs of holly,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
‘Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
Strike the harp and join the chorus,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
While I tell of Yuletide treasure,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow, n a one horse open sleigh,
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to laugh and 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!
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, I thought I’d take a ride,
And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side.
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot.
We got into a drifted bank and then we got upsot!
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!

The Holly and the Ivy

The holly and the ivy, when they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood, the holly bears the crown.
O the rising of the sun and the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ sweet singing in the choir.

Jolly Old St. Nicholas

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, lean your ear this way;
Don’t you tell a single soul, what I’m going to say.
Christmas Eve is coming soon now you dear old man,
Whisper what you’ll bring to me; tell me if you can.
When the clock is striking twelve; When I’m fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black, with your pack you’ll creep.
All the stockings you will find hanging in a row;
Mine will be the shortest one, you’ll be sure to know.
Johnny wants a pair of skates, Susie wants a sled.
Nelly wants a storybook, one she hasn’t read.
As for me I hardly know, so I’ll go to rest;
Choose for me, dear Santa Claus, what you think is best.

Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snowman was a Jolly happy soul,
With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the Snowman is a fairytale they say.
He was made of snow, but the children know how he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found,
For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around.
Oh, Frosty the Snowman had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying ‘don’t you cry I’ll be back again someday.’
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.

Up on the Housetop

Up on the housetop reindeer pause,
Out jumps good old Santa Claus.
Down through the chimney with lots of toys,
All for the little ones, Christmas joys!
Ho, Ho, Ho!
Who wouldn’t go?
Ho, Ho, Ho!
Who wouldn’t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click,
Down through the chimney with old Saint Nick.

Rudolph

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw it,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You’ll go down in history!”

Joy to the World

Joy to the World! The Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry heard 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 Saviour 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.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happ New Year.
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
