CHRISTMAS HAS COME

 

The windowsill is piled with snow

The ingle nook is all aglow

We’ve cleaned and swept the floor

The wreath is hanging on the door

The lights are lit, the halls are decked

The list of tasks has all been checked

Now we’re filled with Christmas cheer

Let’s have a drink of Christmas beer

Then ring the bell and bang the drum

Rejoice, rejoice Christmas has come

CHRISTMAS MORNING

 

Heralding the special day

As sweet undisturbed the cherubs lay

Early as Christmas day is dawning

The birds sing out on Christmas morning

Halleluiah, halleluiah cheer

Christ the savior’s day is here

And as awakes every little dear

One by one the lights appear

Yellow light piercing the darkness

Like stars populating heavens blackness

Until every house across the land is lit

To make a constellation to quite befit

A celebration across the earth

To celebrate the Christ Childs birth

Then with giggles and boisterous shout

The whirlwind kinder sets about

The present sack with great delight

Throwing paper to the left and right

And when they see the gifts inside

They’re open mouthed and wide eyed

Then peace restored after the early rout

The church bells call, the bells ring out

Good morning they seem to say

Merry Christmas on this special day

With purposeful step and a happy heart

We make our way to play our part

To give hearty praise and uplift

Rejoicing at the first Christmas gift

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

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
