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.
Rejoice Rejoice

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.
Fear Not For I

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

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
