1 Christmas Joy Frost is glistening on the ground Like tiny diamonds cast around. Crystals grow on the branches bare Twinkling in the cold night air, for Christmas joy is here once more! Men and Angels all adore. Celebrate the special birth Of Jesus God s own Son, Jesus God s own Son, Jesus God s own Son on Earth. Children wrapped up like parcels tight In woolly hats and scarves so bright. Busy shoppers all crowd the streets, Shops are full of Christmas treats, for Christmas joy is here once more! Men and Angels all adore. Celebrate the special birth Of Jesus God s own Son, Jesus God s own Son, Jesus God s own Son on Earth. Stockings hanging by fire-side glow And Christmas trees that sparkle so! Fam ly visits and friends that call: Christmas cheer to one and all, for Christmas joy is here once more! Men and Angels all adore. Celebrate the special birth Of Jesus God s own Son, Jesus God s own Son, Jesus God s own Son on Earth. By Helen R. Mitchell 2014 Starshine Music Ltd.

2 Away in a Manger Away in a manger No crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus Lay 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, 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 stay Close 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. Words Anon.

4 Silent Night Silent night, holy night. All is calm all is bright. Round the 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 allelujah! Christ the Saviour is born. Christ the Saviour is born. Silent night, holy night Son of God, love's pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face. With the dawn of redeeming grace. Jesus Lord at Thy birth. Jesus Lord at Thy birth. Silent night Silent night At Thy birth By Anita Gooda (arr. Dean H Jones & Ruth Kenward) 2014 Starshine Music Ltd.

5 Winter Solstice (2 Parts) What lies within a seed? Within a shroud a butterfly. What sings within a reed? Within its sound a lullaby. Stranger, have you the grace to see the ancient things I hold in my hands? Stranger, have you the grace to hold the ancient things softly in your hands? And in the darkness and in the fullness The moon knows you are weeping. And in the darkness and in the fullness Hold the child that is weeping. What lies within a seed? Within a shroud a butterfly. What sings within a reed? Within its sound a lullaby. Stranger, have you the grace to see the ancient things I hold in my hands? Stranger, have you the grace to hold the ancient things softly in your hands? And in the darkness and in the fullness The moon knows you are dreaming. And in the darkness and in the stillness Whisper names of your dreaming. Words and music: Katherine Lucas arr. Peter Hunt Oxford University Press 2004

6 Rockin around the Christmas tree Rockin around the Christmas tree At the Christmas party hop. Mistletoe hung where you can see Every couple tries to stop. Rockin around the Christmas tree, Let the Christmas spirit ring. Later we ll have some pumpkin pie and we ll do some caroling. You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear Voices singing, Let s be jolly, Deck the halls with boughs of holly! Rockin around the Christmas tree Have a happy holiday. Everyone dancing merrily in the new old fashioned way. By Johnny Marks 1961 St Nicholas Music Inc Chappell Music Ltd. Used by permission of Sing Up programme
