CHRISTMAS CORALS
A RAY OF HOPE FLICKERS IN THE SKY
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn'
This comes to pass
When a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass
When a child is born
A rosy fume settles all around
You’ve got the feel, you're on solid ground
For a spell of truth no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass
When a child is born
And all of this happens because the
world is waiting
Waiting for one child, black, white,
yellow - no one knows
But a child that will grow up and turn
tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone
to everyone's neighbor
Misery and suffering will be words to be
forgotten, forever
It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true sometime soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn'
This comes to pass
When a child is born
This comes to pass

MARY, DID YOU KNOW
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you delivered
Will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will calm the storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God
(Interlude)
The blind will see, the deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you're holding
is the great, I Am

LONG TIME AGO IN BETHLEHEM
- HARRY BELAFONTE
Long time ago in Bethlehem,
So the holy bible say,
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas day.
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A new king born today, And man will
live forever more,
Because of Christmas day.
While shepherders watched their flocks by
night,
They see a bright new shining star,
They hear a choir sing,
The music seemed to come from afar.
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A new king born today, And man will
live forever more,
Because of Christmas day.
Now Joseph and his wife Mary,
Come to Bethlehem that night,
They find no place to born her child,
Not a single room was in sight.
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A new king born today, And man will
live forever more,
Because of Christmas day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say,
That man will live forever more,
Because of Christmas day.

O HOLY NIGHT
O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til He appeared
And the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine
Chains shall He break
For the slave is our brother
And in His name
All oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy
In greatful chorus raise we
Let all within us
Praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord
Let ever, ever praise The
Noel, Noel
Oh night, oh night divine
Noel, Noel
Oh night, oh night divine
Noel, Noel
Oh night, oh night divine

WHAT CHILD IS THIS- JOSH GRABON
What child is this
Who lay to rest

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
So bring him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to own him

Let loving hearts enthrone him

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud

O raise, raise a song on high
His mother sings a lullaby

SILENT NIGHT – CELTIC WOMAN
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight!
Glories stream from heaven afar;
Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ia!
Christ the Savior is born!

Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth

THE FIRST NOËL – JOSH GROBAN
The First Noël the angel 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
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel
They looked, they looked up and they saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
So it continued both day and night
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King
Born is the King
Born is the King of Israel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King of Israel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël
Born is the King
Born is the King
Born is the King of Israel
Israel, Israel (of Israel)
Israel, oh, oh
Israel (Israel, Israel)
Of Israel (Israel, oh, oh)
Born is the King of Israel
