The Star Carol

"Long years ago, on a deep winter night.
High in the heavens, a star shone bright.
While in the manger, a small baby lay.
Sweetly asleep, on a bed of hay.
Jesus our lord, was that baby so small.
Lay down to sleep, in a humble stall.
Then came the star, and it stood over head.
Shedding its light, 'round his little head.
Dear baby Jesus, how tiny thou art.
I'll make a place, for thee in my heart.
And when the stars, in the heavens I see.
Ever and always, I'd think of thee.
And when the stars, in the heavens I see.
Ever and always, I'd think of thee.
'Tis love that's born tonight!"

The Wexford Carol

"Good people all, this Christmas time,
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending His belovd Son.
With Mary holy we should pray
To God with love this Christmas Day
In Bethlehem upon the morn There was a blest Messiah born.
The night before that happy tide
The noble virgin and her guide
Were long time seeking up and down
To find a lodging in the town.
But mark how all things came to pass
From every door repelled, alas!
As long foretold, their refuge all
Was but a humble oxen stall.
Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep
To whom God's angels did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear.
Prepare and go - the angels said To Bethlehem Be Not Afraid
For there you’ll find upon this morn
A princely babe, Sweet Jesus born."

Beautiful Savior

"Deilig er jorden
Prektig er Guds himmel
Skjønn er sjelenes pilgrimsstall
Gjennom de fagre
Rytter på jorde
Går vi til paradis med sang
Tider skal komme
Tider skal henrulle
Slekt skal følge slektersgang
Aldri forstumme
Tonen fra himmelen
I sjelens glade pilgrimssang
Englene sang den
Først for markets hyrde
Skjønt fra sjel til sjel til død
Fred over jorden
Menneske fryd deg
Oss er vil evig frelser født"

Labor of Love

"It was not a silent night, there was blood on the ground
You could hear a woman cry in the alleyway that night on the streets of David's town
And the stable was not clean and the cobblestones were cold
And little Mary full of grace with tears upon her face had no mother's hand to hold
It was a labor of pain, it was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark with every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
Noble Joseph by her side, callused hands and weary eyes
No midwives to be found on the streets of David's town in the middle of the night
So he held her and he prayed, shafts of moonlight on his face
But the baby in her womb, he was the maker of the moon
He was the Author of the Faith that could make the mountains move
It was a labor of pain, it was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark with every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
For little Mary full of grace, with tears on her face
It was a labor of love
It was not a silent night, on the streets of David's town"

"Sleep, Holy Babe, Upon Thy Mother's breast.
Great Lord of earth and sea and sky,
How sweet it is to see Thee lie
In such a place of rest.
In such a place of rest.
Sleep, Holy Babe, Thine angels watch around
All bending low with folded wings
Before th'Incarnate King of kings,
In rev'rence awe profound.
In rev'rence awe profound.
Sleep, Holy Babe, Upon Thy Mother's breast.
Oh Lord of earth and sea and sky,
How sweet it is to see Thee lie
In such a place of rest.
(Repeat x3)"

"When Joseph was a young man,
a young man was he,
he courted sweet Mary the Queen of Galillee
He courted sweet Mary the Queen of Galillee
Mary and Joseph were walking one day,
there were apples and cherries enough to behold,
there were apples and cherries enough to behold
Mary said to Joseph, so meek and so mild,
Go Joseph, gather cherries for I am with child.
Go Joseph, gather cherries for I am with child
Then Joseph spoke to Mary so rough and unkind,
No I’ll not gather cherries to give to thy kind
No, I’ll not gather cherries to give to thy kind
Then the cherry tree bowed down all in a sweet bow
and Mary gathered cherries enough to behold"

"Joy to the world! The Lord is come.
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart
Prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love;
And wonders of His love;
And wonders, wonders of His love."
