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

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

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)

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.

Lyrics

Tell me the story of Christmas
Tell me the story of Christmas
Tell me the story of Christmas
What would you like to know – to know
To know – to know – to know.

What did the three wise men bring
What did the three wise men bring
What did the three wise men bring
Gold frankincense and myrrh – to him
And myrrh – to him – and myrrh.

Why were the shepherds afraid so
Why were the shepherds afraid so
Why were the shepherds afraid so
An angel came and spoke – to them
And spoke – to them – to them.

What did the angel tell them
What did the angel tell them
What did the angel tell them
To you is born this day – this day
This day – this day – this day.

Born in the city of David
Born in the city of David
Born in the city of David
A Saviour who is Christ the Lord
Is Christ the Lord – let’s sing

Glory to God in the highest
Glory to God in the highest
Glory to God in the highest
And peace on earth goodwill to men
Goodwill to men – goodwill.

That is the story of Christmas
That is the story of Christmas
That is the story of Christmas
That’s all you need to know
To know – to know.
