"The world is old tonight – the world is old
The stars around the fold do show their light
Do show their light
And so they did – and so – a thousand years ago
And so we’ll do good Lad’s when we lie cold
The world is still tonight – the world is still
The snow on vale and hill like wool lies white
Like wool lies white
And so it did – and so – a thousand years ago
And so we’ll do my love when we like will
And so they did – and so – a thousand years ago
And so we’ll do good Lad’s when we lie cold"

"Oh come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of angels,
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore him,
Christ the Lord
Adeste fideles læti triumphantes,
Venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum videte
Regem angelorum:
Venite adoremus
Venite adoremus
Venite adoremus Dominum.
Sing choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
O sing, all ye Citizens of heaven above;
Glory to God,
Glory in the highest
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore him,
Christ the Lord
O come let us adore him,
Christ the Lord"

Welcome to Our World
03:27
|

"Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome Holy Child
Welcome Holy Child
Hope that You don't mind our manger
How I wish we could have known
But long-awaited Holy Stranger
Make Yourself at home
Please make Yourself at home
Bring Your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
Word now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world
Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born
So wrap our injured flesh around You
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sins and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Perfect Son of God
Welcome to our world"

The First Noel/Mary Mary
05:32
|

"Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Mary, Mary had a little baby
Yes, pretty little baby
Yes, pretty little baby
Glory be to the newborn King
A star shining, shining on the manger
Yes, shining on the manger
Yes, welcoming a stranger
Glory be to the newborn King
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
The first Noel, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Some call Him Emmanuel, think I'll call him Jesus
Yes, think I'll call him Jesus
Yes, pretty little Jesus
Glory be to the newborn King"

"In this our happy Christmastide
The joyful bells are ringing;
To praise be all our pow'rs applied,
God's grace and mercy singing;
In Him by whom the world was made,
Now in the lowly manger laid,
Rejoice we in the spirit;
Thy praise, O Savior, we will sound
Unto the earth's remotest bound,
That all the world shall hear it.
A little Son, the Virgin-born,
True God from everlasting
To rescue us who were forlorn,
His lot with us is casting;
It moved His tender heart to see
This world of sin and misery
In condemnation lying;
Therefore He came from realms above
Down to our earth, drawn by His love,
To sooth our grief and sighing.
As darkest night must fade and die
Before the sun's appearing,
So fades my grief away, when I
Think on these tidings cheering,
That God from all eternity
Hath loved the world, and hath on me
Bestowed His grace and favor;
I'll ne'er forget the angels' strain:
Peace--peace on earth, good will to men,
To you is born a Savior!"

A Cradle in Bethlehem
03:28
|
|||
"Sing sweet and low your lullaby
till angels say, ""Amen.""
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
While wise men follow through the dark
a star that beckons them.
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem.
""A little child shall lead them,"" the prophets said of old.
In storm and tempest keep 'em until the bells is tolled.
Sing sweet and low your lullaby
till angels say, ""Amen.""
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem.
Sing sweet and low your lullaby."

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."

"There's no room here
There's no room there
We'll have to find some place soon
Time isn't waiting
There's no hesitating
We can't be out under the moon
It's far too cold out
But no way to hold out
Hold out for anyplace grand
The innkeeper's spoken
The stable is open
I'm sorry it's not what we planned not what we planned
It's a bare bones and beautiful Christmas
Here in a Bethlehem stall
It's a bare bones and beautiful Christmas
Changing the world for us all
Changing the world for us all he's
Changing the world for us all
Nothing that I can do
Everything's up to you
Baby Sweet Baby draws near
Pushing past agony
Everything's happening
Heavenly Christ Child is here He is here
Everyone's coming out
Everyone's calling out
Angels sing Goodwill, Angels sing Goodwill and peace on Earth"
