Said the night wind to the little lamb
"Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see?

"A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite."


Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
"Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy?
Do you hear what I hear?

"A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea."

(listen)
(listen)

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
"Do you know what I know
In your palace, oh mighty king?
Do you know what I know?

"A child, a child, shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold."


Said the king to the people everywhere
"Listen to what I say.
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Listen to what I say.

"A child, a child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light."

(Listen, do you hear what I hear)
(Do you see what I see)
(Do you know what I know)
(Pray for peace people everywhere)

Do you hear what I hear
A child, a child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

(Listen)

Do you hear what I hear
Do you hear what I hear
Listen

Star Bright, first star I see tonight
Could you oh would you please shine your light
Shine it so I can see, my savior smilin' at me

Star Bright, I hear you once proclaimed
This is the way, keep on followin' me
and at the end of the road will be, a baby

And there, in him you'll find, a love that is truly blind
given so from your heart that love that light, could shine

Shine, shine, shine, Shine

Star Bright, first star they saw that night
I am aware that this love is for me
and the greatest of gifts is free
Yet my heart of hearts is heavy

Star Bright, if I give you my hand
Could you oh would you please see me through
I would love to take my heart blue, and give it to you

And there, in my heart you'll find, a love that is truly blind
given to me, so that I could let my, light shine

Shine, shine, shine, Shine,

Star Bright
Star Bright, Star Bright, Star Bright
Star Bright, Star Bright
Shine your light

I really can't stay, (Baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go 'way, (Baby, it's cold outside)
The evening has been, so very nice
(I hold your hands, there just like ice)

My mother will start to worry
and father will be pacin' the floor
So really I'd better scurry
well maybe just a half a drink more

The neighbours might think, (Baby, it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink, (No caps to be had out there)
I wish I knew how, to break the spell

I ought to say, no, no, no sir
at least I'm gonna say that I tried
I really can't stay, outthere it's cold outside

I simply must go, (Baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no, (Uhh, Baby, it's cold outside)
The welcome has been, so nice and warm
(Look out the window at that storm)

My sister will be suspicious
My brother will be there at the door
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
well mabe just a half a drink more

I've got to get home, (Baby, you'll freeze outthere)
Say lend me a comb, (It's up to your knees outthere)
You've really been grand, but don't you see
(How can you do this thing to me)

There's bound to be talk tomorrow
at least there will be plenty implied
I really can't stay, outthere it's cold outside

Baby, it's cold outside

I wonder as I wander, outunder the sky
How Jesus the savior, did come for die
For poor orn'ry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander, outunder the sky

When Mary birthed Jesus, t'was in a cow'stall
with wise men and farmers and shepherds and all
And high from Gods heaven a starlight did fall
and the promise of ages, it then did recall

If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing
A star in the sky or a bird on the wing
Or all of Gods angels in heaven to sing
he surely could've had it, 'cause he was the king

I wonder as I wander, outunder the sky
I wonder as I wander

I wonder as I wander, outunder the sky
How Jesus the savior, did come for die
For poor orn'ry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander, outunder the sky

I wonder as I wander outunder the, sky

Sleep well little children
Pleasant dreams through the night
Tomorrow is Christmas, all merry and bright
Soon you'll hear the bells ring, time for dreams to come true
As the worlds waits to bring, merry Christmas to you

There've been times, when I thought I heard angels
and I must admit, it took me by surprise
I heard rhythm, and the fullness of life
so rich, it brought tears to my eyes

There was a time, I was sure I heard angels
it was a sound tinged with sadness, but loaded with the joy
Full of rhythm, and oh such music
kind of streetwise jubilation at the coming of that blessed boy

Angels we have heard on high
sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
echoing their joyous strain

Gloria, in excel sis deo
Gloria, in excel sis deo, oh

Shepherds why this jubilee
why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
which inspire your heav'nly song

Gloria, in excel sis deo
Gloria, in excel sis deo, oh

Come to Bethlehem and see
him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the lord, the new born king

Gloria, in excel sis deo
Gloria, in excel sis deo, oh

Angels we have heard on high

Angels we have heard on high, (Gloria)
Angels we have heard on high, (Gloria)
Angels we have heard on high, (Gloria)
Angels we have heard on high, (Gloria)

Angels we have heard

The first Noel, The angels did say
was to certain poor shepherds,
in fields as they lay

In fields where they
lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night, that was so deep

CHORUS:
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel

When they looked up, and saw a star
shining in the east, beyond them far
and to the earth, it gave great light
and so it continued both day, and night

CHORUS (2x)

(Noel, Noel)

CHORUS (4x)

What child is this who laid to rest
on Mary`s lap asleeping
whom angels breed with anthems sweet
while shepherds watch our keeping

This, this is christ the king
whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste'll bring him lord
the babe the son of Mary

So bring him incense, bring him gold
come plesant king to him
The king of kings salvations brings
let loving hearts enthrone him

Raise, raise the son on high
the virgin sings a lullaby

Joy, joy for christ is born
the babe was son of Mary

What child is this who laid to rest
on Mary`s lap asleeping
whom angels breed with anthems sweet
while shepherds watch our keeping

Raise, raise the son on high
the virgin sings a lullaby

Joy, joy for christ is born
the babe was son of Mary

Gracious Good Shepherd
do you really know who I am?
Gracious Good Shepherd
will you answer when I call your name?
Gracious Good Shepherd
you can hear confusion crying out
Gracious Good Shepherd
what little faith I have I am ashamed

I visualize an angel
all freezing and bitter cold
I cannot believe the love there
what heavenly sacrifice

Gracious Good Shepherd
if you hear me now, I love you so
Gracious Good Shepherd
why for me?
Gracious Good Shepherd
you say you love the lost born
Gracious Good Shepherd
I believe that one is me

Some tell me the virgin birth is
a beautiful ancient tale
But you tell me God's constellation
led all to the living well

Gracious Good Shepherd
if you hear me now, I love you so
Gracious Good Shepherd
why, why for me?
Gracious Good Shepherd
do you really know who I am?
Gracious Good Shepherd
will you answer when I call your name?
Gracious Good Shepherd
these are different times, I'm sure you see
Gracious Good Shepherd
we need, you now

Mary had a baby
Mary had a baby
Mary had a baby
People, keep a comin' and the train done gone

Laid him in a manger
Laid him in a manger
Laid him in a manger, oh lord
People, keep a comin' and the train done gone

Shepherds came to see him
Shepherds came to see him
Shepherds came to see him, oh lord
People, keep a comin' and the train done gone

Named him King Jesus
Named him King Jesus
Named him King Jesus, oh lord
People, keep a comin' and the train done gone

When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day
And I asked the lord to help me
and he showed me the way

CHORUS:
Oh, Go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born

He made me a watchman, upon the city wall
and if I am a Christian
I am the least of all, yeahyeah

Go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born

CHORUS (4x)

I'll be home for christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow, and mistletoe
and presents, by the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
where the love light, gleams
I'll be home for christmas
if only in my dreams

Christmas Eve will find me
where the love light, gleams
I'll be home for christmas
if only in, if only in,

If only in my, Dreams
