CHRISTMAS SONGS
Asleep in a hay box the baby boy lay Tune: Away in a Manger (John Bradley 20.12.2003)
Asleep in a hay box the baby boy lay,
The hope of the world on the first Christmas Day.
And Mary remembered the wonders she’d seen,
The long months of waiting had passed like a dream.
Continues…
Come in to the warmth, (John R. Bradley; Tune: O Jesulein Süss;)
Come in to the warmth,
Come in from the cold.
Come, hear the tale of love unfold.
God loved the world with all its pain
And came to earth, its peace to gain.
Come in to the warmth,
Come in from the cold.
Continues…
Glory to God (Tune: What shall we do with the drunken sailor?)
Glory to God in the highest heaven (x3)
And peace to all the people.
Glory, Hallelujah (x3)
Peace to all the people.
Mary and Joseph had a journey (x3)
To the town of David.
Continues…
From the East they came (Tune: Kumbaya)
From the East they came
Bringing gifts.
Men of wealth and fame
Bringing gifts.
Many miles from home
Bringing gifts.
Wise men bringing gifts.
Continues…
Long ago and far away (John R. Bradley; Tune: The First Nowell)
Long ago and far away
On the first Christmas Day
In the part of a house where the animals stay
Was the place of Jesus’ birth
Bringing peace to the earth
And new hope for the people who thought they’d no worth.
Christmas time is lots of fun
When the day has come
All because God showed He loves everyone.
Continues…
A Christmas Grace (Tune: We wish you a merry Christmas)
Thank God for this time of Christmas,
For peace, warmth and light to cheer us,
With hope springing up within us,
We share this good fare.
With family and friends
May joy never end,
So God bless us all at Christmas
And throughout the New Year!
