Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose, And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer All of the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names, They never let poor Rudolph, join in any reindeer games.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Then one foggy Christmas eve, Santa came to say, "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him, as they shouted out with glee, “Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history!” Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Johnny Marks, 1949 St Nicholas Music Inc.Administered by Warner Chappell MusicCopied on 15 November 2005 CAL Licence No. 203Unauthorised recopying prohibited

Away in a Manger Away in a manger, no crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head

Away in a Manger The stars in the bright sky look down where he lay The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

Away in a Manger The cattle are lowing the baby awakes But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes

Away in a Manger I love you, Lord Jesus, look down from on high And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Away in a Manger Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay Close by me forever and love me I pray

Bless all the dear children in your tender care And fit us for heaven to live with you there. Away in a Manger Anonymous, USA (c. 1883) Traditional Carol In the Public Domain. CCLI Song #

The people who walk in darkness will see a great light - a light that will shine on all who live in the land where death casts its shadow. Isaiah 9:2, 6-7

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. And the government will rest on his shoulders. These will be his royal titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:2, 6-7

His ever expanding, peaceful government will never end. He will rule forever with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David. The passionate commitment of the LORD Almighty will guarantee this!

See Him lying on a bed of straw, draughty stable with an open door. Mary cradling the babe she bore, The Prince of Glory is His name. Calypso Carol

Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem, To see the Lord appear to men. Just as poor as was the stable then, The Prince of Glory when He came.

Calypso Carol Star of silver sweep across the skies, Show where Jesus in the manger lies.

Calypso Carol Shepherds swiftly from your stupor rise, To see the Saviour of the world.

Calypso Carol Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem, To see the Lord appear to men. Just as poor as was the stable then, The Prince of Glory when He came.

Calypso Carol Angels, sing again the song you sang, Bring God's glory to the heart of man.

Sing, that Bethlehem's little baby can Be salvation to the soul. Calypso Carol Michael Perry, © Copyrite to Jubilate Hymns Ltd, Used by Permission CCLI Licence No CCLI Song #

Joy to the World Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room,

Joy to the World And Heaven and nature sing, and Heaven and nature sing, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the World Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns! Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains

And wonders of His love, and wonders of His love, and wonders, wonders, of His love. Joy to the World Isaac Watts Traditional Carol. In the Public Domain. CCLI Song #

Now this is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:18-25 Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright Used by permission of Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., Wheaton, Illinois All rights reserved.

Matthew 1:18-25 Joseph, her fiancé, being a just man, decided to break the engagement quietly, so as not to disgrace her publicly.

Matthew 1:18-25 As he considered this, he fell asleep, and an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. "Joseph, son of David," the angel said, "do not be afraid to go ahead with your marriage to Mary.

Matthew 1:18-25 For the child within her has been conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

Matthew 1:18-25 All of this happened to fulfill the Lord's message through his prophet: "Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and he will be called Immanuel (meaning, God is with us)."

Matthew 1:18-25 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord commanded. He brought Mary home to be his wife, but she remained a virgin until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus.

While Shepherds Watched While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around,

While Shepherds Watched “Fear not!” said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind. “Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind,

While Shepherds Watched “To you, in David’s town, this day Is born of David’s line A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, And this shall be the sign,

While Shepherds Watched “The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swaddling, clothes And in a manger laid.

While Shepherds Watched Thus spoke the seraph and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels praising God, who thus addressed their joyful song,

“All glory be to God on high, And to the Earth be peace; Goodwill henceforth from Heaven to men Begin and never cease.” While Shepherds Watched Tate Traditional Carol, No copyright applicable. In the Public Domain. CCLI Song #

Christmas Bowl

The North Wind The north wind is tossing the leaves, The red dust is over the town. The sparrows are under the eaves,

The North Wind And the grass in the paddock is brown. As we lift up our voices and sing, To the Christ Child the Heavenly King.

The North Wind The tree ferns in green gullies sway, The cool stream flows silently by. The joy bells are greeting the day,

And the chimes are adrift in the sky. As we lift up our voices and sing, To the Christ Child the Heavenly King. The North Wind John Wheeler (Lyrics) & William G. James (Music) © 1948 Warner Chappell Music Unauthorised recopying prohibited

Sun Gleams Bright Sun gleams bright, hearts are light, Merry, merry Christmas. Bells ring out, children shout, “Merry, merry, merry Christmas.”

Sun Gleams Bright Sheep in fold, shine like gold, As the day is dawning. Riding by, stockmen cry, "Welcome, Christmas morning."

Sun Gleams Bright Golden day, when we say, “Merry, merry Christmas.” In the street, where we meet, Merry, merry, merry Christmas.

Sun Gleams Bright And with pride, far and wide, All our homes adorning, Earth and sky, sound the cry, "Welcome, Christmas morning.”

So with joy girl and boy, Sing with us together, On this morn, Christ was born. Merry, merry, merry Christmas. Sun Gleams Bright

Raise the song, loud and strong, In the shining weather. Joy bells ring, Christ is King, Merry, merry, merry Christmas. Sun Gleams Bright John Wheeler (Lyrics) & William G. James (Music) ©1948 Warner Chappell Music CAL Licence No 203 Copied on 15 December 2005 Unauthorised recopying prohibited

John 1:1-5 In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. He was in the beginning with God. He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn't make.

Life itself was in him, and this life gives light to everyone. The light shines through the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. John 1:1-5 Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright Used by permission of Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., Wheaton, Illinois All rights reserved.

O Come All Ye Faithful O come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem Come and behold Him, born the king of angels;

O Come All Ye Faithful O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

O Come All Ye Faithful True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal, Lo He shuns not the Virgin’s womb; Son of the Father, begotten, not created;

O Come All Ye Faithful O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

O Come All Ye Faithful Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation; sing all ye citizens of heaven above! Glory to God, glory in the highest;

O Come All Ye Faithful O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

O Come All Ye Faithful Child, for us sinners, poor and in the manger, We would embrace Thee, with love and awe; Who would not love Thee, loving us so dearly?

O Come All Ye Faithful O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

O Come All Ye Faithful Yea, Lord we greet thee, born this happy morning; Jesus, to Thee, be glory given; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.

A Christmas Blessing May the feet of God walk with you, and His hand hold you tight. May the eye of God rest on you, and His ear hear your cry.

A Christmas Blessing May the smile of God be for you, and His breath give you life. May the Child of God grow in you, and His love bring you home.
