Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

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

Oh jingle bell, jingle bell
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jingle all the way!
O 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 this charming gent
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifting bank
And then he got upsot

Jingle bell, Jingle bell
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey jingle bell, jingle bell
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Dashing through the fields of white
On this happy Christmas night
Off we go
Through the snow
That's great, we'll be singing

Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jing-jangle
Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jing-jangle
Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jing-jangle
Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jing-jangle

J-j-j-jingle bell, j-j-j-jangle bell
J-j-j- All the way
On a one
Horse
Open
Sleigh!

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
