Dance of the little swans by Tchaikovsky

It Came Upon A Midnight ClearIt came upon a midnight clear,That glorious song of old,From angels bending near the earthTo touch their harps of gold;“Peace on the earth, goodwill to menFrom heaven’s all gracious King!”The world in solemn stillness layTo hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come,With peaceful wings unfurled;And still their heavenly music floatsOver all the weary world;Above its sad and lowly plainsThey bend on hovering wing;And ever o’er its Babel soundsThe blessed angels sing.

Yet with the woes of sin and strifeThe world has suffered long;Beneath the angel-strain have rolledTwo thousand years of wrong;And man, at war with man, hears notThe love-song which they bring;O hush the noise, ye men of strife,And hear that angels sing!

(Please stand)

For lo! the days are hastening on,By prophet-bards foretold,When, with the ever-circling years,Comes round the age of gold;When peace shall over all the earthIts ancient splendours fling,And the whole world send back the songWhich now the angels sing. (Please sit)

Piano soloSkyfall by Adele

Away In A MangerAway in a manger, no crib for a bed,The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay-The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes,I love Thee Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stayClose by me forever, and love me, I pray,Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there. (Please sit)

While Shepherds watched by Clark

Sitar soloRag Yaman

O Little Town of BethlehemO little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lieAbove thy deep and dreamless sleepThe silent stars go byYet in thy dark streets shinethThe everlasting lightThe hopes and fears of all the yearsAre met in thee tonight.

O morning stars togetherProclaim the holy birthAnd praises sing to God the KingAnd peace to men on earthFor Christ is born of MaryAnd gathered all aboveWhile mortals sleep the angels keepTheir watch of wond’ring love.

How silently how silentlyThe wondrous gift is givenSo God imparts to human heartsThe blessings of his heavenNo ear may hear his comingBut in this world of sinWhere meek souls will receive himStill the dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of BethlehemDescend to us we prayCast out our sin and enter inBe born in us todayWe hear the Christmas angelsThe great glad tidings tellO come to us abide with usOur Lord Emmanuel. (Please sit)
