THE FATHER IS WITH US EVERY MOMENT

The father is with us every moment 

Of every hour both day and night

Over every continent and island

He keeps us in His wondrous light 

WE GIVE OUR PRAISE WITHOUT CONDITION

 

We give our praise without condition

Given freely to the Lord on high

We sing it to the highest heaven

Our hands held reaching to the sky

ON CANDLEMAS DAY

 

The winter will not come again

If Candlemas day has cloud or rain

But if the day is bathed in sun

Then the spring hasn’t yet begun

CANDLEMAS DAY

 

If Candlemas is sunny and bright

We will again feel Winters bite.

If Candlemas brings cloudy skies

Spring will be an early surprise

Rub-a-dub-dub,

Thanks for the grub,

Without the Lord no one would care

The father the son

And the spiritual one

The guardian angels of heavens host

They all make sure the tables not bare

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)

CHRISTMAS CANDLES

 

(Sung to the tune of Sixteen Candles)

 

Christmas Candles, make a lovely light

But not as bright as the light of Christ
(as the light of Christ) (Oh)
Light up the candles, for all the world to view

For every candle says, Happy Christmas to you

(Happy Christmas to you)
