What Child, Nowell
|
|
What child is this who, laid to rest On Mary's lap, is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keeping? This is winter's gift This is what begins Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Every voice was singing Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Born this day a new Nowell Nowell, Nowell What child is this who, now awakes In every heart, each morning From dazzling light, through silver sky Bring peace now from creation This is winter's gift This is what begins Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Every voice was singing Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Born this day a new Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Every voice was singing Nowell, Nowell, Nowell Born this day a new Born this day a new Nowell Nowell, Nowell, Nowell. |

Star of Wonder
|
|
We three kings are coming again Bearing gifts from the East From the East Some say a star will rise again In the hearts of humankind Some say we have been in exile What we need is solar fire Star of wonder, star of night Star of royal beauty Westward leading, still proceeding A star A star of wonder We bring gold and myrrh for him From the East, frankincense From the East Some say a star will rise again In the hearts of humankind Some say we have been in exile What we need is solar fire Star of wonder, star of night Star of royal beauty Westward leading, still proceeding A star Star of wonder, star of night Star of royal beauty Westward leading, still proceeding A star A star of wonder Of wonder. |

A Silent Night with You
|
|
The radio plays my holiday faves It takes me back to when our love was new Young lovers pass me by with their glow That used to be us not so long ago You said then "I just want to spend a silent night with you" With you A silent night with you Joy to the world, your arms kept me warm Night after night, in such a cold world Hear the bell strike, old pictures instead Tell me the past is filling my head You said then "I just want to spend a silent night with you" With you A silent night with you The radio plays my holiday faves It takes me back to when our love was new Lost in my daze, you slip past and say "Girl, take my hand, see, nothing has changed Now or then I just want to spend a silent night with you" With you A silent night with you All is calm All is bright. |

Candle, candle, are the children safe now? Unlike they were long ago Candle, candle, are the children safe now? Sing the song of long ago Candle, candle, are the children safe now? Unlike we were long ago Candle, candle, guide us and protect us From those in darkness From those in darkness Lully, lullay, Thou little tiny Child By, by, lully, lullay Thou little tiny Child By, by, lully, lullay O sisters too, how may we do For to preserve this day This poor Youngling for Whom we do sing By, by, lully, lullay Herod the king, in his raging Charged he hath this day His men of might, in his own sight All young children to slay That woe is me, poor Child for Thee And ever morn and day For Thy parting neither say nor sing By, by, lully, lullay Lully, lullay, Thou little tiny Child By, by, lully, lullay Thou little tiny Child By, by, lully, lullay. |

Holly, Ivy and Rose
|
|
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming From tender stem hath sprung! Of Jesse's lineage coming By ancient sibyls sung A rose doth bear a flower All in the cold midwinter And at the midnight hour And he waits for who to find The heart she left behind And he prays she'll find her way To be his bride someday Ivy Of all the trees in the wood Holly wants/woos the Rose Holly and the Ivy When they are both full grown Of all the trees in the wood Holly bears the crown Holly and the Ivy The running of the deer For his Rose to bloom Holly waits every year He waits for who to find The heart she left behind He prays she'll find her way To be his bride someday Ivy Of all the trees in the wood Holly wants/woos the Rose Holly and the Ivy When they are both full grown Of all the trees in the wood Holly bears the crown The holly and the Ivy The running of the deer For his Rose to bloom Holly waits every year For his Rose to bloom Holly waits every year Waits every year Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming From tender stem hath sprung! The frozen air perfuming That tiny bloom doth swell Its rays the night illuming The darkness quite dispel O flower beyond compare Bloom in our heart's midwinter Restore the springtime here. |

I'll show you how it's done You'll smile through the pain Sweetly singing Over the plain Gloria Gloria In excelsis deo They'll show us how it's done Out in the street No, they don't have much Oh, but listen to them sing Gloria Gloria In excelsis deo Gloria Gloria Playing on their harps of gold And the mountains in reply Echo, echo, echo And the mountains in reply Echo, echo, echo Gloria Gloria In excelsis deo Gloria Gloria Playing on their harps of Playing on their harps of gold Over the plain. |

Snow Angel
|
|
When the bell brought in Midwinter I waited for a sign A shadow, of a wing This has always been The children know this, That she will come to them To them To them Snow Angel, Snow Angel, Snow Angel She'll make her way And she'll stay For a Time, For a time In the dark of this Midwinter, The moon slipped from night A shadow, of a wing This has always been The Children know this... And she'll stay, for a time And it's time |

Dawn Roses, that is what you call All the girls in the world Even the thorns You're surrounded by an army of two Who adore you Our joy isn't about a present Or a grown-up Little boys are getting an honourable mention from me But this year I'm thinking Shower the world Shower the world Shower the world with pink if you please Shower the world Shower the world Black satin is what I wore That, and our hearts left on the floor How was I in that marshmallow snow To know my life would change that night Our joy isn't about a present Or a grown-up Little boys are getting an honourable mention from me But this year I'm thinking Shower the world Shower the world Shower the world with pink if you please Shower the world Shower the world Shower the world in pink We will paint the town Champagne never looked so divine On his lips the sweetest words: "Love, you've given me quite a ride" |

O come, O come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel Long ago the earth lay sleeping Waiting for the darkest night To bring with it the dove of peace Rising on the wings Wings of the sun Rising on the wings of the sun O come, O come, thou Day spring bright Pour on our souls thy healing light Dispel the long night's lingering gloom And pierce the shadows of the tomb Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel |

Winter's Carol

A winter's carol First song of the robin A winter's carol I go through the land And I can hear it Ringing out Ringing out From pine to oak Bringing out with the December snow Ringing out A gift to old Wrapped in ribbons of gold For the whole world For the whole world The summer queen Has been in darkness The summer queen Has been in darkness The summer queen Surrenders to this To him she reveals The secrets To him she reveals The Wine Ham secrets For a time For a time rejoice Fire and frost in marriage Through a midwinter clearing A forest greets the snowy evening Year after year, the holly king Passes the torch as it was intended Through a midwinter clearing A final kiss and a new beginning Kiss on the queen wearing his wreath Soon with the sun she will be ascending Through a midwinter clearing The forest greets a snowy evening With wands of yew, the holly king Passes the torch as it was intended Passes the torch as it was intended A winter's carol The song of the robin The sun is reborn From the starry heavens A winter's carol Echoes the sound of wonder And I can hear it Ringing out Ringing out From pine to oak Bringing out, with the December snow Ringing out A gift of old Wrapped in ribbons of gold For the whole world For the whole world For the whole world Ringing out Winter's carol Ringing out Winter's carol Ringing out Winter's |

Our New Year

Glasses raised, we all say "cheers" could this be the one? Our New Year Even after all this time, I don't know why Why you went away Lately I'm sure it's You there, waving In the distance Closer, the closer I get Disappointment tails Yes it tails They just have the same color of your hair You're not there Every corner that I turn I've convinced myself One day you'll be there Choruses of Auld Lang Syne Could this be the year Yours and mine Lately I'm sure it's You there, waving In the distance Closer, the closer I get Disappointment tails yes it tails They just have the same Color of your hair You're not there Glasses raised we all say "cheers" Could this be the one This could be the one Could this be the one Our new year |
