BLESSED IS THE HOLY SEASON

 

Blessed is the holy season

Jesus Christ is the reason

Let the garlands be unfurled

For a gift of love unto the world


CHRISTMAS GREETINGS

 

This is the happy season

Of peace and goodwill

And joy to the world

Let good rule over ill

Merry Christmas world

From here to Brazil

Joy to the entire world

For peace is Gods will

STALKS AND STEMS

 

On a bed of haulm

In a stable bare

The son of God

Is laying there

ITS NOT THAT I’M ANTI SOCIAL

 

I won’t come to the pub

Thank you all the same

Not in celebration

No thanks I will refrain

 

I will go to church

Thank you all the same

To celebrate the day

That the Lord came

ON A STILL CLEAR NIGHT

 

The shepherds rested in the firelight

When they were woken on a still clear night

By heavens choir hastening them

To go forth unto Bethlehem

The heavenly choir

Sang of Gods desire

To give the world his son

His one and only one

The choir continued to sing

And announced the birth of a king

CHRISTMAS IS A GIFT

 

Christmas is a gift

A gift to the world

Of infinite grace

A special gift

Of redemption for all

Don’t cast it aside

THE SALVATION ARMY BELLS

 

The sound of Christmas really tells

In the ring of the Salvation Army bells

Calling out into the dark

Calling out to the heart

Ringing out in the throng

Singing out a heralding song

Give a little, not a lot

Give a little for their lot

They have little, but are not less

Give your coins and let them bless

A tale of generosity tells

In the ring of the Salvation Army’s bells
