Lyrics:

Winter Wonderland (Richard B. Smith / Arr. Gothard Sisters) / Let it Snow (Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne)

Sleigh bells ring are you listening?
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we an build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say 'are you married' we'll say 'no man,'
'But you can do the job when you're in town'

Later on we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow let it snow let it snow

And since we've no place to go
Let it snow let it snow let it snow

Sleigh bells ring are you listening?
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Walkin.....walkin' in a winter wonderland

I Saw Three Ships (traditional / arr. Gothard Sisters)

I saw three ships come sailing in
on Christmas day on Christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in
on Christmas day in the morning

They sailed into Bethlehem
on Christmas day on Christmas day
sailed into Bethlehem
on Christmas day in the morning

And all the bells on earth shall ring
on Christmas day on Christmas day
all the bells on earth shall ring
on Christmas day in the morning 

And all the souls on earth shall sing
on Christmas day on Christmas day
all the souls on earth shall sing
on Christmas day in the morning

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (Traditional / arr. Gothard Sisters)

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 angelic host proclaim Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn king

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 angelic host proclaim Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn king

Hail that heaven-born prince of peace, hail that son of righteousness
Light and life to all he brings, risen with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by, born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth, born to give them second birth
Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn king 

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 angelic host proclaim Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn king

Joy to the World (Isaac Watts / arr. Gothard Sisters)

Joy to the world the lord is come
Let earth receive her king
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world 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

Joy to the world the lord is come
Let earth receive her king
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven 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 and wonders of his love

And wonders and wonders of his love

Jingle Bells (traditional / arr. Gothard Sisters)

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way (hehehehehehe)
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

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
