O holy night, the stars are brightly shining It 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 worth A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices! For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn! Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices! Oh night divine, oh night when Christ was born! Oh night divine, oh night, oh night divine! Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother And in His name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy, in grateful chorus raise we Let all within us praise His holy name! 6
THE FIRST NOEL O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM The First Noel, the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel! They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East beyond them far And to the earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King Born is the King of Israel! O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth And praises sing to God, the King, And peace to men on earth. For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. How silently, how silently, The wondrous Gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell: Oh, come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel! 7 8

The time comes round to go, we take a family snap. We pack the car and all shoot through Before the washing up. DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR? Said the night wind to the little lamb, Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky little Lamb, do you see what I see? A star, a star, dancing in the night, with a tail as big as a kite with a tail as big as a kite. Said the little lamb to the Shepard boy, do you hear what I hear? Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy, Do you hear what I hear? A song, a song, high above the trees with a voice as big as the sea with a voice as big as the sea 14 Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, do you know what I know? In your palace warm, mighty king, do you know what I know? A child, a child, shivers in the cold, Let us bring him silver and gold, Let us bring him silver and gold. Said the king to the people everywhere, listen to what I say. Pray for peace, people everywhere, listen to what I say. The child, the child, sleeping in the night. He will bring us goodness and light, He will bring us goodness and light.
WHEN A CHILD IS BORN JOY TO THE WORLD A ray of hope flickers in the sky. A tiny star lights up way up high. All across the land, dawns 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, tossed and torn, this comes to pass, when a child is born. A rosy hue 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. 15 [Spoken:] 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. Joy to the world the Lord has come; Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, and heav n and nature sing, and heav n and nature sing, and heav n and heav n 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, 16 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 and wonders of His love.
MARY S BOY CHILD WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS 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. 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 to 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 little boy was born. Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say, Mary s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day. We wish you ; We wish you ; We wish you and a Happy New Year. Good tidings we bring to you and your kin; We wish you and a Happy New Year.
