Thus they: I pray you Up sirs, nor stay you Till ye confess him Likewise and bless him. And all the angels in heav n shall sing And all the angels in heav n shall sing And all the souls on earth shall sing And all the souls on e arth shall sing Then let us all rejoice, Amen Then let us all rejoice, Amen O Come, O Come, Emmanuel O come, O come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear Rejoice!

O come thou wisdom from on high And order all things mightily To us the path of knowledge show And teach us in her ways to go It s in the air that I breathe And in the way that I see this Christmas It s in the air that I breathe And in the way that I see this Christmas Run With The Fox Now the season, now the question Time to breathe, a moment s grace For the hunter and the hunted Taking time to break the pace Are you hopeful? Are you haunted By the ghosts of Christmas past? Face the future undaunted Step aside or take your chance Into the wind On to the dawn of tomorrow Into the wild Into the wild and the cold Beware of the rocks And be prepared Prepare, for love comes and goes Every year the revolution Won or lost before begun While we thrive on mass confusion Thus we walk before we run Into the wind On to the dawn of tomorrow Into the wild Into the wild and the cold Beware of the rocks And be prepared Prepare, for love finally grows Let us live to tell our story Here on earth and out in space Forward on the road to glory History records the chase Have yourselves that certain Christmas Eat, be glad, and drink the wine Leave your sadness by the river Giving love and given time Across the ice of frozen lakes Along the lanes a lover takes Beneath a moon, a Christmas moon And sing a tune, a dreamer s tune Across the bridge of many ways On to the plains where dreamers play
