A TIME OF MIRACLES

 

The cynics say of miracles

That they are a scarce commodity,

If they happen at all

But to my mind

There is nothing more miraculous

Than the birth of a child

It may be the most common placed

Of miracles

But it is miraculous

Nonetheless

BELLS AND SMELLS

 

Bells and smells

Bells and smells

Christmas all the way

Oh what fun it is to sing

Of the holy Christmas day

THE GREAT STAR OF LIGHT

 

The great star of light

Graced the nativity

Where the holy family,

Mary and her child

And the Noble Joseph

Dwelt in the humble stall

 

The beasts in the stable

The Kings of the east

And shepherds from the hill

Witnessed the gift of love

Given by a gracious God

To the sinful world

THE HERALDS OF THE LORD

 

The heralds of the Lord

Sung in one accord

Speaking of a child

So meek and mild

A halo on its curls

A gift to the world

A beacon in the night

Exuding loving light

THE CHURCH IS FULL

 

The church is full

On Christmas day

From miles around

They came to praise

And share in the joy

Of the blessed gift

Given to the world

To heal the rift

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
