From God our Heavenly FatherA blessed Angel came;And unto certain ShepherdsBrought tidings of the same:How that in Bethlehem was bornThe Son of God by Name.O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joyO tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises,All you within this place,And with true love and brotherhoodEach other now embrace;This holy tide of ChristmasAll other doth deface.O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joyO tidings of comfort and joy

A star shone bright out in the east, to Bethlehem the wise-men threeCame many miles a journey long for youInto the place in which you were, their frankincense and gold and myrrhThey came to you and cried out HallelujahHallelujah…

I know you came to rescue me…. (pause, modulate)

I know you came to rescue me, this baby boy would grow to beA man who’d one day die for you and meMy sins will drive the nails in you, that rugged cross was my cross tooStill every breath you drew was hallelujahHallelujah… REPEAT CHORUS

Still every breath you drew was hallelujah…

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY / PEACE ON EARTH

Come, they told me, pa-ram-pam-pam-pamA newborn king to see, pa-ram-pam-pam-pamOur finest gifts we bring, pa-ram-pam-pam-pamRa-pam-pam-pam, ra-pam-pam-pam

Come, they told me, pa-ram-pam-pam-pamPeace on Earth, can it be?A newborn King to see, pa-ram-pam-pam-pamYears from now, perhaps we'll see

Our finest gifts we bring, pa-ram-pam-pam-pamSee the day of gloryTo lay before the King, pa-ram-pam-pam-pam, ra-pam-pam-pamSee the day when men of good willRa-pam-pam-pamLive in peace, live in peace again

So to honour him, pa-ram-pam-pam-pamPeace on EarthCan it be?When we come

Every child must be made awareEvery child must be made to careCare enough for his fellow manTo give all the love that he can

Little baby, pa-ram-pam-pam-pamI pray my wish will come trueI stood beside him there pa-ram-pam-pam-pamFor my child and your child too

I played my drum for him pa-ram-pam-pam-pamHe'll see the day of gloryI played my best for Him, pa-ram-pam-pam-pam, ra-pam-pam-pamSee the day when men of good willRa-pam-pam-pamLive in peace, live in peace again

Then he smiled at me, pa-ram-pam-pam-pamPeace on EarthMe and my drumCan it be? Can it be?

Mary, Did You Know

Mary, did you knowThat your baby boy would one day walk on water?Mary, did you knowThat your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?Did you knowThat your baby boy has come to make you new?This child that you delivered will soon deliver you.Mary, did you knowThat your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?Mary, did you knowThat your baby boy will calm the storm with His hand?Did you knowThat your baby boy has walked where angels trod?When you kiss your little baby you kiss the face of God?

Mary did you knowOoh oh oh

The blind will see, the deaf will hear.The dead will live again.The lame will leap, the dumb will speakThe praises of The Lamb.Mary, did you knowThat your baby boy is Lord of all creation?Mary, did you knowThat your baby boy would one day rule the nations?Did you knowThat your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I am.

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say,Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.

While shepherds watch their flocks by night,they see a bright new shining star,they hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.

For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out there were tears of joy and laughter, People shouted "let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace".

And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn,and in a manger cold and dark, Mary's little boy was born.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day. REPEAT

Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they sayThat man will live for evermore because of Christmas DayMary’s boy child Jesus Christ was on Christmas Day.

Oh holy night

Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shiningIt is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth

Long lay the world, in sin and error pining‘Til He appeared and the soul felt it’s worthThe thrill of hope, the weary world rejoicesFor yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees, and hear the angel voicesOh night divine, oh night when Christ was bornOh night divine, oh night when Christ was born

Oh holy night x4Oh night divine, oh night when Christ was bornOh night divine, oh night when Christ was born

Silent night! holy night!All is calm all is brightRound yon virgin mother and child

Holy infant so tender and mildSleep in heavenly peace!Sleep in heavenly peace!

Silent night! holy night!Shepherds quake at the sightGlories stream from heaven afarHeavenly hosts sing AlleluiaChrist the Saviour is born!Christ the Saviour is born!

SOLO: Silent night! holy night!Son of God love's pure lightRadiant beams from thy holy faceWith the dawn of redeeming grace,Jesus, Lord at thy birthJesus, Lord at thy birth

Silent night! holy night!All is calm all is brightRound yon virgin mother and childHoly infant so tender and mildSleep in heavenly peace!Sleep in heavenly peace!

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wallIt's the time that every Santa has a ballDoes he ride a red-nose reindeerDoes a ton-up on his sleigh

Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

So here it is Merry ChristmasEverybody's having funLook to the future nowIt's only just begun

Are you waiting for the family to arriveAre you sure you've got the room to spare insideDoes your granny always tell youThat the old songs are the bestThen she's up and rock 'n' rolling with the rest

So here it is Merry ChristmasEverybody's having funLook to the future nowIt's only just begun

What did your daddy doWhen he saw your momma kissing SantaAaah ah aaah aahh

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wallAre you hoping that the snow will start to fallDo you ride on down the hillsideOn a buggy you have madeWhen you land upon your headAnd you've been 'Slade'

So here it is merry ChristmasEverybody's having funLook to the future nowIt's only just begunSo here it is merry ChristmasEverybody's having funLook to the future nowIt's only just begun REPEAT

WHEN A CHILD IS BORN

Solo 1: A ray of hope flickers in the skyA tiny star lights up way up high

All across the land dawns a brand new mornThis comes to pass when a child is born

Verse 2 – Choir Ooohs

Solo 2: A silent wish sails the seven seasThe winds of change whisper in the treesAnd the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and tornThis comes to pass when a child is born

Verse 3 - Aahs

Both: A rosy hue settles all aroundYou've got the feel you're on solid groundFor a spell or two no-one seems forlornThis comes to pass when a child is born

(instrumental)

ALL: It's all a dream, an illusion nowIt must come true, sometime, soon, somehowAll across the land dawns a brand new mornThis comes to pass when a child is born

Verse 5 – Aahs

Both: A ray of hope flickers in the sky A tiny star lights up way up highAll across the land dawns a brand new mornThis comes to pass when a child is born

Instrumental solo – spoken

And all of this

Happens, happens cos the world, world is waiting, Waiting for one child, Black, white or yellow – No-one knows - But a child that will grow up and turn tears into laughter - hatred into love -War into peace - and everyone to everybody's neighbour - - and misery and suffering – -Will be words to be for-gotten – foreverForever, Forgotten for all time (“It’s all a dream” - sung)

- = short pause- - = long pause

‘And all of this’ is spoken before the first beat (“happens”)Each line should be 4 beats – feel free to alter to what suits your rhythm –

Winter wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,In the lane, snow is glisteningA beautiful sight,We're happy tonight,Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,Here to stay is a new birdHe sings a love song,As we go along,Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,Then pretend that he is Parson BrownHe'll say: Are you married?We'll say: No man,But you can do the jobWhen you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,As we dream by the fireTo face unafraid,The plans that we've made,Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,And pretend that he's a circus clownWe'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,Until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,Though your nose gets a chillingWe'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,Walking in a winter wonderland.
