REMEMBRANCE SHINES

 

Remembrance shines most

Bright, like the Christmas candlelight,

During the Christmas rite

SOMETHING MAGICAL IS HAPPENING

 

Something magical is happening

Can you feel it?

Something special is on its way

You all love it

 

Christmas is coming and hearts

Are full to brimming

Because Christmas is abiding love

With all the trimmings

CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

 

Celebrate Christmas

With Christ, in his house

With his love in your heart

You can’t celebrate him

In a pub, or in gluttony and avarice

At the shopping mall

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

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

ON THE EVE OF THE SPECIAL DAY # 1

 

On the eve of the special day

As I sit beside the fire

Peace upon the earth

Is my one abiding desire
