Jingle Bells Silent Night

Dashing through the snow,		Silent night! holy night!
In a one horse open sleigh		All is calm, all is bright
O'er the hills we go,			round yon virgin mother and child,
Laughing all the way.			Holy infant so tender and mild,
Bells on bobtail ring			sleep in heavenly peace!
Making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing		Silent night! holy night!
A sleighing song tonight.		Shepherds quake at the sight;
					glories stream from heaven afar,
Chorus:					heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
       Jingle bells, jingle bells,	Christ, the Saviour, is born!
       Jingle all the way!
       Oh what fun it is to ride	Silent night! holy night!
       In a one horse open sleigh!	Son of God, love's pure light
					radiant beams from thy holy face,
					with the dawn of redeeming grace,
					Jesus, Lord at they birth.

Auld Lang Syne

Chorus
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!

I

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!

II

And surely ye 'll be your pint' stowp,
And surely I 'll be mine,
And we 'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!

III

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we 've wander'd monie a weary fit
Sin' auld lang syne.

IV

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.

V

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie 's a hand o' thine,
And we 'll tak a right guid-willie waught
For auld lang syne!

Chorus

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindess yet
For auld lang syne!

[Roughly, "Auld Lang Syne" refers to the long gone past.
Auld simply refers to anything old, and Lang Syne is a reference to ancient times.]
