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 the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

Sharon's Rose

dona nobis pacem
shepherds, wandering, tending to their flocks by night
searching for the source of heavenly bright light
angels greet them, singing holiest high praise
the shepherds are trembling, so the angels sing
“don’t be afraid”
dona nobis pacem
“in a manger, you will find a newborn child.
he is the savior who was promised in exile.”
the shepherds find him, wrapped in tattered swaddling clothes.
the baby is sleeping; not a thorn on sharon’s rose.
dona nobis pacem

Come Thou Fount
02:26
|
|||
|
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I've come
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let that goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

Blue Christmas
03:29
|
|||
|
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue Christmas
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue Christmas

The First Noel
02:40
|
|||
|
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 the East
Beyond them far
And to the earth it
It gave great light
And so it continued
Both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men came
From country far;
To seek for a King—
(triplet) Was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

Girls and boys, leave your toys, make no noise,
Kneel at his crib and worship him
At thy shrine, Child divine, we are thine,
Our Saviour’s here.
Hallelujah the church bells ring,
Hallelujah the angels sing
Hallelujah from ev’rything,
All must draw near.
Oh that we, all might be, good as he,
Spotless, with God in Unity.
Savior dear, ever near, with us here,
Since life began.
Hallelujah the church bells ring,
Hallelujah the angels sing
Hallelujah from ev’rything,
Godhead made man.

The mood is right, the spirit's up
We're here tonight and that's enough
Simply having a wonderful christmastime
Simply having a wonderful christmastime
The party's on, the feeling's here
That only comes this time of year
Simply having a wonderful christmastime
Simply having a wonderful christmastime
The choir of children sing their song
Ding dong...
Simply having...
The word is out around the town
To lift a glass and don't look down
Simply having...

Auld Lang Syne
04:32
|
|||
|
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you'll buy your pint cup!
and surely I'll buy mine!
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear...
We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine;
But we've wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear...
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine†;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear...
And there's a hand my trusty friend!
And give me a hand o' thine!
And we'll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear...

O Holy Night
05:11
|
|
||
|
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,
Till He appear'd 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 angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night divine, O night, O night Divine.
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 come the wise men from thee Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need, to our weaknesses no stranger,
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, Before Him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
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.
Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
His power and glory evermore proclaim.

Hannah's Song
03:11
|
|||
|
I have waited so long for the Lord to hear my plea.
And now, I sing a joyful song for He has answered me.
I prayed for children, but his time is nothing like our own.
His ways are wise and secret, but His strength shall be made known.
My heart exults in the Lord.
My heart exults in the Lord.
There is no holy one like you,
no one besides you, no one besides you, Lord.
The Lord is a God of knowledge, and the Lord will judge the proud.
He breaks the bows of the mighty and helps the silent speak out loud.
My heart exults in the Lord...
The barren womb has brought forth life,
the jagged path has been set right.
The darkness is consumed by light.
He is the God of death and life.
God raises us up from the dust.
God raises us up from the dust.
We are not left in ash and dust.
Thanks to God's faithfulness.
No one besides you.
The Most High thunders in heaven, and to the ends of all the earth.
He makes the boastful fall silent, and makes the barren give birth.
My heart exults in the Lord.
God raises us up from the dust.
He makes the barren womb give birth.
No Holy one like God.
No one besides you.

There Will Be Light
04:37
|
|||
|
there will be a light
there will always be a light
there will be a light
there has always been a light
to help you find your way
when your feet grow tired
but the road grows longer and longer
and daylight starts to fade away
as the shadows grow
know the one who wrote the book of life
can hear your prayer
and wants to
there will be a light…
in the deepest night
there will be a light if you look up
or if you look within
when your well runs dry
when your miracle does not arrive
but grief does
there will be shadows
there will be darkness
there will be light
and the night won’t overcome it
there will be a light…
