SILVER STRANDS

 

It sparkles there for all to see

Threaded round the Christmas tree

Silver tinsel shinning bright

Silver strands of Christian light

It shines and sparkles as a symbol

Of the love Christ has for us all

A strand of love, looped and curled

Threaded all around the world

And when you look at a Christmas tree

Silver strands of love you’ll see

ALL THE CHRISTMAS SAINTS AND ANGELS

 

All the Christmas Saints and Angels

Work behind the scenes

To orchestrate the season

Like precision built machines

 

They make the tinsel sparkle

They make the music play

They fill out hearts with love

As we wait for the saviours day

 

All the Christmas Saints and Angels

Pulling the strings unseen

Their purpose is a simple one

To fulfil all our Christmas dreams

SAVIOUR, AT YOUR BIRTH

 

Saviour, at your birth

The angels softly sang

Heralding your arrival

To save the fate of man

 

Now your birthday is near

We hear the church bells rang

Calling your children hither

To sing the thanks of man

MELCHIOR, CASPAR AND BALTHAZAR

Three kings from the east

Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar

Enlightened kings of wisdom

On their great quest travelled far

Three wise men from the east

Who followed a bright star

Three kings bearing gifts

Gold, frankincense, and myrrh

Three kings from the east

Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar

Three kings of great wealth

Bowed low before the saviour 

REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 13TH OF DECEMBER

 

Remember, Remember the 13th of December

And put your lighted candles out

Because that is the very special day

And light is what St Lucy is all about

DO YOU BELIEVE IN SANTA?

 

Do you believe in Santa?

It’s a yes or no answer

Have you never seen him?

He is there none the less

He is in the smiling faces

Or people that you meet

And in the children’s laughter

As they rush along the street

He is in the hearty handshakes

And the heart felt hellos

He is at the happy reunions

And the tearful farewells

He is in the choirs voices

Singing praise to the lord

And in the hearts of volunteers

Who feed the homeless

He is the presence of good

He is the Christmas spirit

CHRIST IS IN CHRISTMAS

 

I Remember in December

That the reason for the season

Is that Christ is in Christmas

And he is there for all of us

And I remember the son God gave

To the world he would save

When love was born

On that first Christmas morn
