GLIDING IN DESCENT

 

Gliding in descent

On gossamer wings

The angel of the lord

Rejoicing sings

A child is born

The king of kings

THE DOVE OF PEACE

 

The dove of peace

Flying on lordly wings

Delivered an olive branch

Which delivered the world

THE CHURCH BELLS RING OUT

 

The church bells ring out

The Christmas chimes

The congregation sings out

The Christmas rhymes

So, lift up your hearts

And join the joyous throng

And sing heartily to the lord

A joyous Christmas song

PUT A COIN IN THE BUCKET

 

Put a coin in the bucket

It doesn’t have to be big

Just a small token

That you won’t even miss

 

Put a coin in the bucket

Just drop it in

Or maybe a few

It’s good for your heart

 

Put a coin in the bucket

And shine a light

Into the darkest corner

Of a stranger’s life

 

Put a coin in the bucket

It’s nothing to you

But a bucket full of nothings

Will do a lot of good

PRAYERS WERE SUNG

 

Prayers were sung

To the Heavens high

Then the angel told

The messiah was nigh

And a light of peace

Entered men’s hearts

Love filled the world

To herald a new start

THE BLESSED SEASON

 

God richly blesses us

The Good Lord fulfils us

And bestows love upon us

This and every Christmas

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
