A Christmas Lullaby
04:18
|
|||
Lullay thou little tiny child,
Bye bye lulee lullay,
Sleep well, wee babe of Bethlehem,
Bye bye lulee lullay.
Oh sisters two, what may we do,
For to preserve this day,
This poor youngling for whom we sing,
Bye bye lulee lullay
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
What Child is this
Who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
Oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe,the Son of Mary.
INTERLUDE

The Cradle Song
03:06
|
|||
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head
The stars in the heavens
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The poor Babe awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
'Til 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

Mary, did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've 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?
When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God
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 that your baby boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know? (Mary, did you know?)
Mary, did you know? (Mary, did you know?)
Oh, Mary, did you know? (Mary, did you know?)
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you

Rejoice
04:19
|
|||
O Come O Come God's lamb, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears,
Rejoice! Rejoice! God's lamb, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel.
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
O come, O Come Emanuel's bright star,
And bring to us your comfort from afar!
Dispel the shadows of the night,
And turn our darkness to God's loving light
Rejoice! Rejoice! God's lamb, Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel.

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, Snow
Snow on snow, on snow,
In the bleak midwinter,
Long, long ago.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne
In the bleak midwinter,
Long, long ago.

The toy shop door is locked up tight
Everything is quiet for the night
When suddenly
The clock strikes twelve
The fun's begun!
The dolls are in their best arrayed
There's going to be a wonderful parade
Hark to the drum
Oh, here they come
Cries everyone
Hear them all cheering
Now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonet's flashing
Music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Sabers a-clinking
Soldiers a-winking
At each little pretty maid
Here they come, here they come
Here they come, here they come
Wooden soldiers on parade
End:
Here they come
Oh, here they come,
The wooden soldiers on Parade!

The First Christmas
03:48
|
|||
Verse I
Once in winter time,
A star rose high in the sky,
It shined both morning and night
And the little star, made the darkness take its flight
O'er Bethlehem it took rest.
Chorus
Tell me what it means,
I asked the shepherd boy,
He answered very softly,
Its God's promise of hope.
Verse II
High above the trees
A shepherd's voice filled the night,
He sang a song of Peace,
Carried by the wind, the melody rang clear and bright,
Go to Bethelehem it did sing.
Interlude
I travelled through the night,
not knowing where I was bound,
In search of a promise foretold,
At the journey's end it was a baby that I found,
Bringing hope that first Christmas day.
Repeat Chorus
At the journey's end it was a baby that I found,
Bringing hope that first Christmas day.

Teddy Bear Christmas
01:35
|
|||
Teddy bears dancing off to bed,
With visions of sugar plumbs filling their head,
Dressed in a night shirt and little cap,
It's time for a long winter nap!
The littles teddy bear
Tries to stay awake,
To catch a glimpse of Old St. Nick
But just like you,
He is fast asleep,
Dreaming a Christmas Day dream!
Teddy bears jump and shout with glee,
On Christmas Day morning, just look what they see!
Presents and stockings filled with delight,
That Santa Claus left in the night!
The mama bear smiles,
And tells a funny tale,
She gave a kiss to Old St. Nick,
While all the little teddy bears were fast asleep,
Dreaming a Christmas Day dream!

The Peace Carol
02:55
|
|||
The garment of life, be it tattered and torn,
The cloak of the soldier is withered and worn.
But what child is this, that was poverty born,
The peace of Christmas Day
The hope that has slumbered for 2000 years,
The promise that silenced 1000 fears,
A faith that can hobble an ocean of tears,
The peace of Christmas Day
Chorus
The branch that bears the bright holly,
The dove that rests in yonder tree,
The light that shines for all to see,
The peace of Christmas Day
Add all the grief that people may bear,
Total the strife, the troubles and care,
Put them in columns and leave them right there,
The peace of Christmas Day
Chorus
The branch that bears the bright holly,
The dove that rests in yonder tree,
The light that shines for all to see,
The peace of Christmas Day

The Seed of Joy
04:24
|
|||
Verse I
Long, Long Ago,
One winter night,
A child was born,
To bring us light.
A gift of wonder
to behold,
He sleeps… on hay of gold.
From kingdoms far,
The wisemen three
Came Bearing gifts,
For the new king
A lowly stable,
A manger bed,
Is where the star's light led.
CHORUS
For the Lord,
So loved this weary world,
That He gave his only son!
The seed of joy,
Was born that Christmas night,
Sweet child of hope and light.
Verse II
While shepherds watched
On hillsides green
Beneath a star’s
Bright loving beam
They saw an angel,
Above the trees,
And fell,
On bended knees.
Be not afraid,
The angel sings,
Tidings of Joy
Is what I bring,
In Bethlehem
You shall see,
A child
The prince of peace
For the Lord,
So loved this weary world,
That He gave his only son!
The seed of joy,
Was born that Christmas night,
Sweet child of hope and light.
Finale
Mere echoes now,
Messiah's song,
It's old as time,
Still growing strong,
Ever brightly, his loving light,
Still burns each Christmas night
Ever brightly, His loving light
Still burns Each Christmas night...
Christmas Night.

The First Noel
03:06
|
|||
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 1-2-3
Noel, Noel, 1-2-3 Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Interlude
They looked up to the sky, and saw a bright star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And Upon the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night 1-2-3
Noel, Noel Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him

It's time to deck the halls with holly,
Hang your mistletoe,
It's time to send those Christmas greetings,
Here is how one goes!
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
And a happy new year!
We all like our figgy pudding,
We all like our figgy pudding,
We all like our figgy pudding,
And all its good cheer!
Good tidings we bring,
To you and your kin,
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year!
