REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 26TH OF DECEMBER
OH GOD TO YOU WE PRAY
Oh God to you we pray
To let peace on earth come our way
Oh God to you we pray
Would that we could have our way
Oh God grant this day
That peace on earth will come our
way
Oh God we hear you say
That peace on earth will come our
way
If we could from this day
Just live Christmas every day
Inspired by Helen Steiner Rice
(1900-1981)
THE CHRISTMAS ANGEL
The Christmas Angel comes each year
To spread
around the Christmas cheer
Though the
angels seldom appear
They are
still there so do not fear
And
listening with the keenest ear
You will
never ever be able to hear
The
Christmas angel standing near
But she
will look over those near and dear
As she
spreads around the Christmas cheer
Then the
heavenly presence we revere
Twill be
gone again until next year
SILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT
Silent night, holy night
Such a
sweet carol
Neither
rousing nor stirring
But moving
and inspiring
A carol to
unite in adoration
A song to
touch the soul
Poignant
and joyous
Holy music
at its most powerful
Simple and
unpretentious
TWO THOUSAND YEARS HAVE PASSED
Two thousand years have passed
Since
you died on that cross of pain
Dying
for our salvation
Which
began your holy reign
Two
thousand years have passed
And when
Christmas comes again
We will
celebrate the day of you birth
Which
began your holy reign
ONE OF THE TWELVE - DOUBTING THOMAS
One of the twelve
Doubting
Thomas
Sometimes
called
Didymus the
Twin
Or the
Apostle of India
Was a
carpenter by trade
Witness of
the ascension
Who was
gently rebuked
After the
resurrection
For his
scepticism by Christ
Before
exclaiming
“My Lord
and My God,”
Thomas was
the only witness
Of the
Assumption
Of Mary
into heaven
He then
spread the Gospels
Far and
wide
But was
stabbed to death
With a
spear
While in
India
At a place
called Calamine
REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 21ST OF DECEMBER
Remember, Remember the 21st of December
St Thomas the apostle is about
Because that is the special day
When St Thomas is without a doubt
