The Christmas Story
1. Once upon a time,
A long, long time ago.
Begins the story of a baby,
That most of you should know.
2. His daddy's name was Joseph,
And Mary was His mom,
This babe was very special
He was God's only Son.
3. Mary rode a camel,
And Joseph walked along,
While angels watched from afar
Celebrating in song.
4. When they arrived in Bethlehem,
The couple was turned away,
By keepers of the inn
Telling them of no place to stay.
5. Now Joseph- he insisted
That his wife has someplace to stay,
The keeper told him of a stable
With animals and hay.
6. Mary and Joseph’s journey ended
In a stable filled with hay,
It was there that Mary gave birth,
To our King on this day.
SONG: CHRISTMAS BELLS
Christmas Bells, Christmas Bells
Ringing through the air
Telling of the birth of Christ
To people everywhere
(repeat)
Down in Bethlehem
Came a little baby boy
1
In a stable dark and dim
Bringing hope and joy
Bells on churches ring
To celebrate that night
That Jesus came new life to bring
He's The Way, The Truth, The Life...
Christmas Bells, Christmas Bells
Ringing through the air
Telling of the birth of Christ
To people everywhere.
(repeat)
7. Some angels came from heaven,
And they began to sing.
To the shepherds in the fields below,
"Glad tidings do we bring!"
8. Word of the King’s arrival
Soon spread very fast,
The Angels told Shepherds
That a Savior was born at last.
9. Awake, glad heart!
Get up and sing!
It is the birthday of thy King.
Awake! Awake!
10. Awake, awake!
The busy springs
a concert make;
Awake! Awake!
SONG: BRING YOUR PIPES
Bring your pipes and bring your drum,
Call the shepherds all to come;
Hasten quick, no time to lose,
Don't forget your dancing shoes.
Frolic we right merrily:
He will laugh with happy glee,
Yes, and smile, and we will dance,
While He claps His tiny hands.

11. A bright star lit the heavens,
To light the magi's way,
To the baby in the manger
Who was born on Christmas day.
12. Three wise men
Three wise men
traveling a far,
Seeing a star.
13. Three wise men,
Three wise men.
Followed the star,
Followed it far.
14. They followed the star
to Bethlehem
Bow down and worshiped
Jesus the king.
15. He was born in a manger,
He came from above,
He was no danger,
He was full of love.
16. The newborn king
Gave gold, and myrrh,
and frankincense,
To Jesus the king.
SONG: TWINKLE TWINKLE GREAT BIG STAR
Twinkle Twinkle great big star.
God has placed you where you are.
Shining big and shining bright.
To show us Christ is born tonight.
Twinkle Twinkle great big star.
God has placed you where you are.

17. And all who gathered round Him,
Rejoiced and praised His birth.
For the babe, the King, named Jesus,
Is our Saviour here on earth!
18. He comes to make His blessing flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as the curse is found.
19. He rules the world with truth and grace,
and makes the nations prove
the glories of His righteousness,
and wonders of His love.
20. So as we celebrate Christmas
With Candy and presents and more
Remember we have a Savior,
Giving us life evermore.
SONG: WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
