Away in a manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep in 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 cradle till morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.
Joy to the world
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 Saviour 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.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.
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, wonders, of His love
Silent night, holy night
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav’nly song?.
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him Whose birth the angels sing;
Come adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord the newborn King
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
See Him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Mary's boy child
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 new king born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That Man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Them see a bright new shining star
Them hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar
Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
Them find no place to born she child
Not a single room was in sight
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That Man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day
By and by, they find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary’s litlle Boy was born
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 new king born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That Man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day
O HOLY NIGHT
Verse 1
O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and e’er pining
‘Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! O hear the angels voices.
O night divine! O night when Christ was born.
O night divine! O night, O night divine.
Verse 2
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.
Fall on your knees! O hear the angels voices.
O night divine! O night when Christ was born.
O night divine! O night, O night divine

Zion’s daughter
Zion’s daughter,
now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy
Zion’s daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child resting for awhile
Verse 1
Now the world is waiting,
people want to hear
What in Bethlehem had happened, that have brought the Savior near
Now high hope starts rising for another day
With eternal love and justice
finally on the way
Chorus:
Zion’s daughter,
now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy
Zion’s daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child resting for awhile
Verse 2:
That’s the way it happened
many years ago
With the sky above the shining
in a wondrous glow
Now the world is waiting,
People want to hear
What in Bethlehem had happened
that all will say You’re near
Chorus:
Zion’s daughter,
now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy
Zion’s daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child resting for awhile
When a child is born
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land,
dawn a brand new morn
This comes to pass when
A Child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper
in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble
toss and torn
This comes to pass when
A Child is Born
A rosy hue has settles all around
You’ve got the feel you’re
on solid ground
For a spell or two, no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when
A Child is Born
And all of this happens because the world is waiting,
Waiting for One Child
Black, white, yellow, no-one knows
But a child that will grow up
and turn tears to Laughter
hate to Love, war to Peace
and everyone to everyone’s neighbour
And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten, Forever.
It’s all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true
sometime soon somehow
All across the land,
dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when
A Child is born

And left their flocks a feeding in tempest storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straight-way, the Blessed Babe to find

Mary, did you know
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?

Would save our sons and daughters?

Has come to make you new?
This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you.
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will calm the storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?

You kiss the face of God

The blind will see, the deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you’re holding is the great, I Am
Mary, did you know?

Christmas Hallelujah
[Verse 1]
I’ve heard about this baby boy
Who’s come to earth to bring us joy
And I just want to sing this song to you
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
With every breath, I’m singing Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 2]
A couple came to Bethlehem
Expecting child, they searched the inn
To find a place, for You were coming soon
There was no room for them to stay
So in a manger filled with hay
God’s only Son was born, oh, Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 3]
The shepherds left their flocks by night
To see this baby wrapped in light
A host of angels led them all to You
It was just as the angels said
“You’ll find Him in a manger bed”
Immanuel and Savior, Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 4]
A star shone bright, up in the east
To Bethlehem, the wise-men three
Came many miles and journeyed long for You
And to the place at which You were
Their frankincense and gold and myrrh
They gave to You and cried out Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 5]
I know You came to rescue me
This baby boy would grow to be
A man and one day die for me and you
My sins would drive the nails in You
That rugged cross was my cross too
Still every breath You drew was Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
That's Christmas to Me
The fireplace is burning bright, shining all on me
I see the presents underneath the good old Christmas tree
And I wait all night ’til Santa comes to wake me from my dreams
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me
I see the children play outside, like angels in the snow
While mom and daddy share a kiss under the mistletoe
And we’ll cherish all these simple things wherever we may be
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me
I’ve got this Christmas song in my heart (song in my heart)
I’ve got the candles glowing in the dark (oh)
I’m hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me
I listen for the thud of reindeer walking on the roof
As I fall asleep to lullabies, the morning’s coming soon
The only gift I’ll ever need is the joy of family
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me
I’ve got this Christmas song in my heart (song in my heart)
I’ve got the candles glowing in the dark (oh)
I’m hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me
Oh, the joy that fills our hearts and makes us see
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me
I’ve got this Christmas song in my heart
I’ve got the candles glowing in the dark
And then for years to come we’ll always know one thing
That’s the love that Christmas can bring
Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me
Summer Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
Sunburn sting
Ice-blocks glistening
The beautiful sight
Of barbies alight
Strolling through a Summer Wonderland
Pour the sav
In the sunshine
Serve the pav
Up at lunch time
Pop the bubbles for nan
Pineapples on ham
Strolling through a Summer Wonderland
In the arvo we can grab the wickets
The plastic cricket bat your brother found
Backyard full of all your distant rellies
So we pass the can of mozzie spray around
Later on, the sun is falling
And your drunk, uncle’s snoring
We’ll hear the birds in the trees
Feel the warm breeze
Strolling through a Summer Wonderland
Way down here
Christmas landmarks
Are summer flowers
And funny tan marks
We’re happy and bright
Not a snowman in sight
Strolling through a Summer Wonderland
