It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold;
“Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From Heaven’s all gracious King.”
The world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.
And ye, beneath life’s crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing.
O rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
Bridge/solo…
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet-bards foretold,
When with the ever circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Three And Thirty Years

It came to pass, one winters eve, a woman was with child.
And in a stable dark and damp became a mother mild
who could have see ere God himself
in Marys' sweet first born
in three and thirty years from then
the cross the nails the thorns
she Held her baby to her breast and nursed him in her arms
and sang him songs to soothe his cries and keep him safe from harm
who could have see ere God himself
in Marys' sweet first born
in three and thirty years from then
the cross the nails the thorns
She wished the best for her dear son and prayed his life would be
filled with hope and happiness, he'd pass to all he'd see.
who could have see ere God himself
in Marys' sweet first born
in three and thirty years from then
the cross the nails the thorns

The Darkest Place Of All

On that dark night the choirs of angels sang forth their praised to God on high
while in a damp and lowly stable the virgin heard her first born cry
and so it is just as it was then, in Bethlehem's dreary moonlit stall
that light abounds where ever Christ is, even in the darkest place of all
The wise men then, they choose to follow, just like the wisest do today
and yet the humble found their saviour, both shepherds and the kings did pray
and still it is just as it was then, in Bethlehem's dreary moonlit stall
that light abounds where ever Christ is, even in the darkest place of all
and so today as we exalt him and as we sing our songs of joy,
about a king who came to love us, about dear mary's baby boy
and still it is just as it was then, in Bethlehem's dreary moonlit stall
that light abounds where ever Christ is, even in the darkest place of all

Christmas Here With You.

We forgot to buy the ornament for hanging on the door
we couldn't find a single one we had the year before
They said that they had ran out down at the local store
The bleak midwinters looking very real.
We haven't bought the turkey or the stuffing or the spuds
The holly tree has withered so the berries will not bud
The lot that sells the christmas trees is nothing more than mud
There isn't even one out there to steal
But they don't know the two of us they haven't got a clue
For every day's like Christmas here with you.
The winter chill has brought us lots of coughs and lots of sneezin'
I haven't sent a christmas card that's all bout the season
I didn't fill a stocking up cos I don't need a reason
to celebrate this time of year with you.
It's not that I'm a miser or that I don't want to bless ya
For we both know that buying stuff just tends to really stress ya,
and running up your credit card will ruin and depress ya
And I'm so glad you feel the same way too.
But they don't know the two of us they haven't got a clue
For every day's like Christmas here with you.
We won't forget the Christ child or the peace on earth to men
you know that we won't care if all the angels join right in
for love is what it's all about, today and way back then
So every day's like christmas here with you
