Lyrics

CHORUS
It’s Christmas again, Christmas again
Spring then Summer, December and then
Christmas again, Christmas again
Peace be with you Christmas again

Season of hope, season of joy
A time to begin again
And strange may it be that one baby child
Is the reason that we together be (at)

CHORUS

Wise men who came in search of a king
Followed the Eastern star
And we too bring gifts for those that we love
Who may be near or who may be far

CHORUS

This child who was born on that first Christmas night
Grew up to be gentle and wise
And all round the world this time of year
People rejoice in the hope that comes

CHORUS (repeated)

ENDING
Peace be with you Christmas again

So Far Away

Sheet Music | Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Every year we see the babe
Tiny child in manger laid
We talk of love, peace on earth
Goodwill to all from this baby’s birth (but)

CHORUS
Peace and goodwill to all people on earth still is
So far away, so far away

We know the tale how shepherds came
From all around to praise his name
How they came in haste to see the boy
How their hearts were filled with hope and joy (but)

CHORUS

Mary lay down when the long day was done
And she brought forth her first born son
The wonder of life, the miracle of birth
For 2000 years, the hope of the earth

INSTRUMENTAL

How can it be that we’re so slow
To learn the things that we should know
That hope can conquer all your fears
And love can wipe away the tears

When every year we see the babe
Tiny child in manger laid
And over the world as church bells ring
We gather round and together sing (but)

CHORUS (repeated)

ENDING
So far away, so far away

Lyrics

A baby was born so long ago
His mother watched over, she loved him so
His father sang lullabies then rocked him to sleep
Shepherds and wise men gathered around him and peeped
A baby was born so long ago
His mother watched over, she loved him so
Loved him so, loved him so

How amazing that there could be in that stable bare
The wonder of a baby so precious and so rare
In the winter of December that first Christmas night
When the moon was full and the stars in the heavens were bright
How amazing that there could be in that stable bare
The wonder of a baby so precious and so rare
So rare

Every new baby that’s born is a miracle
Come let’s rejoice and be glad
And filled with hope this Christmas Day

Tiny baby, tiny baby, tiny baby child
Wrapped in swaddling, in a manger, gentle meek and mild
At Christmas we remember that story of old
Peace and goodwill are the hopes in our hearts that we hold
Tiny baby, tiny baby, tiny baby child
Wrapped in swaddling, in a manger, gentle meek and mild
In stable bare

INSTRUMENTAL

A baby (baby was born) so long (so long ago)
His mother (his mother watched over) how she loved him so (loved him so)
His father sang lullabies then rocked him to sleep
Shepherds and wise men gathered around him and peeped
A baby(a baby was born) so long ago (long ago)
His mother (his mother watched over) how she loved him so (loved him so)

Loved him so (shoo be doo woo, shoo be doo wup, shoo be doo woo)
Loved him so (shoo be doo woo, shoo be doo wup, shoo be doo woo)

Lyrics

CHORUS
Sun comes up wake up it’s Christmas
Don’t sleep in get out of bed
Magpies sing wake up it’s Christmas
Welcome in the Christmas Day

Come with me, and you will see
There are so many gifts, on the Christmas tree
There’s one for you, and one for me
Another for Jack and one for Jamie-Lee

CHORUS

Over the hill, the moon hangs still
The earth is asleep, waiting until
The stars begin to fade, with the coming of the dawn
Kookaburras sing, at the break of the morn

CHORUS

Join the throng, and sing this song
Sing it loud and clear, you can’t go wrong
Now is the time, to spread good cheer
On Christmas Day, and all through the year

CHORUS (repeated)

ENDING
Welcome in the Christmas Day
Welcome in the Christmas Day

Christmas Child

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | Sheet Music

Lyrics

On a still night under starlight
On a hillside was the familiar sight
Of the shepherds keeping watch o’er
Sleeping flocks as the moon spread its
Soft glow around.

Close at hand lay in a manger
New born Christ Child just a stranger
Watching over Mother Mary
Father Joseph and kings three with
Gifts in their hands.

But Herod heard the news, there was no time to lose
The baby boy he said, would in a while be dead
He could see the day when men would turn away
The time was near when his kingdom
Could crumble and fall.

CHORUS (X2)
Mother Mary, mother mild
You gave away your Christmas child
A gift of hope on a Holy night
So the blind might see the light.

On that starry night the family took to flight
Herod searched in vain all through the night
But mother Mary, father Joseph
And the Christ Child in silence
Had all slipped away.

And as the shepherds, and the kings made
Their journey home from where the boy had laid
There was a song sung from the mountains
As the shepherds rejoiced in
The news they had heard.

CHORUS (X2)
Mother Mary, mother mild
You gave away your Christmas child
A gift of hope on a Holy night
So the blind might see the light.

Love & Joy

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | Sheet Music

Lyrics

CHORUS
Love and joy – comes at Christmas
Baby boy – call him Jesus
Can it be – he can make us
Free again – happy Christmas
Ox and sheep – gather round him
From the East – wise men found him
Love and joy – comes at Christmas
Little boy – call him Jesus.

Out in the fields on a cold December night
The angel appeared in a blaze of great light
The shepherds were afraid but the angel said
To you is born this day in a manger for his bed.

CHORUS

Wise men came, travellers from the east
Brought their gifts and knelt at his feet
Followed the star, to Bethlehem come
Worshipped the child, Mary’s first born son.

CHORUS

Two thousand years is such a long long time ago
But the story’s still the same and deep down we know
That like the stars in the sky and the waves upon the shore
Love doesn’t change – it holds the key to every door.

CHORUS (x2)

Christmas is coming
The goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in, a penny in
The old man’s hat
Haven’t got a penny
A ha’penny will do

A penny or a ha’penny
Then God bless you.

Lyrics

Holy child of Mary mild
Lay in a manger no room in the inn
Shepherds watched their flocks by night
An angel appeared in a blaze of great light
Be not afraid I bring news of great joy
A Saviour is born on this day.
Rejoice, rejoice with exceeding joy
Rejoice on this Christmas Day.

Wise men came from eastern lands
Followed the star to the stable there-in
Knelt they down before the Child
Opened their treasures and offered to him
Gold and then frankincense, myrrh in their hands
Mary looked up and she smiled
Rejoice, rejoice with exceeding joy
Rejoice on this Christmas Day.

Rejoice, rejoice with exceeding joy
Rejoice on this Christmas Day.

Chock-a-Block (The Inn Keeper’s Song)

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | Sheet Music

Lyrics

Nup, nup, no room in the inn – sorry
Nup, can’t be done, no room in the inn
Absolutely impossible.

We’re chock -a- block as a matter of fact
Every room full you couldn’t swing a cat.
Sorry about this situation
But there’s nothing that I can do
When you’re full, you’re full
And we’re full – sorry!
Chock -a -block, chock -a -block
Chock -a -block as a matter of fact.

He’s sorry about the situation
But there’s nothing that he can do
When you’re full, you’re full
And they’re full – sorry
Chock -a -block, chock -a -block
Chock -a -block as a matter of fact.

Star Shines Bright

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | Sheet Music

Lyrics

Star shines bright this Christmas night
The birds their watch are keeping
Moon hangs low on yonder hill
Children all are sleeping.

Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Dreaming of the dawning
When sparrows flit and magpies sing
Their songs at Christmas morning.

Let us join the wise men three
And shepherds in that stable
And let’s give thanks for all we have
Around the Christmas table.

Star shines bright this Christmas night
The birds their watch are keeping
Moon hangs low on yonder hill
Children all are sleeping
Children all are sleeping.

Fear Not For I

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | Sheet Music

Lyrics

The night is so cold
The sheep are afraid
Gabriel what have you done?
We’re sitting here alone
Like fools on a hill
Thinking Gabriel what did you say?

CHORUS
She said “Fear not for I bring tidings of joy
In the city of David Christ is born
Come through the stable door to a manger of straw
Where the Prince of Peace has been born”.

Never have I
Seen an angel before
In a blaze of light shining in the night.
And did the angel say
A boy has been born
In a stable and he’s lying in the hay?

CHORUS

This is the day
We thought would never come
When a Saviour came into the world
So lift up your voice
To heaven and sing
A joyful song for the new baby king.

CHORUS (x2)

O Little One

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | Sheet Music

Lyrics

O little one O little one
All wrapped in swaddling clothes
Your mother sings sweet lullabies
Your daddy watches o’er
There was no room inside the inn
In Bethlehem that night
The ox and ass stood round your bed
The star outside shone bright

The shepherds they were watching o’er
Their flocks that starry night
When came an angel of the Lord
In glory shining bright
Behold I bring good news to you
To you is born this day
A Saviour who is Christ the Lord
You’ll find him in the hay

Then from the east three wise men came
And guided by a star
They found the place where lay the King
A manger made of straw
Gold frankincense and myrrh we bring
To you and with great joy
They knelt and then they worshipped him
This precious little boy

And so again this year we come
As wise men did of old
Our gifts to share this Christmas time
And yet inside we know
This earth still needs your caring hand
To hear your words again
The message never changes still
It’s peace goodwill to all men
