THE BLESSED SEASON

 

God richly blesses us

The Good Lord fulfils us

And bestows love upon us

This and every Christmas

BLESSED DAY

 

It was the day when Jesus Christ was born

That long, long ago first Christmas Morn,

The child whose coming had been foretold

A child more precious than diamonds or gold

God’s great gift to us on that blessed day

That most glorious first Christmas day

CHRISTMAS

Christ the lord

Holy birth in Bethlehem

Regal child in David’s city

Infant of God

Sent from heaven above

To die for us

Messiah in a manger

Angelic miracle

Saviour of man

CHRISTINGLE MINGLE

 

It is the season that makes my senses tingle

The time of year when the sleigh bells jingle

And we come together for the Christingle mingle

When the Clauses and the Grinches intermingle

And happy clappy’s and traditionalists comingle

As we celebrate the service of Christingle

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
