Away In a Manger
02:25
|

v1
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed.
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay;
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay.
v2
The cattle are lowing
The Baby awakes;
The little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes.
I love You, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
Until morning is nigh.
v3
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.

v1
O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.
v2
For Christ is born of Mary;
and, gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wond'ring love.
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to men on earth.
v3
How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is giv'n!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of His heav'n.
No ear may hear His coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive Him still,
the dear Christ enters in.
v4
O holy Child of Bethlehem,
descend to us, we pray;
cast out our sin and enter in;
be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels,
the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
our Lord Emmanuel!

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose;
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir and folks dressed up like Eskimos.
v2
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe help to make the season bright;
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow will find it hard to sleep tonight.
bridge
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh;
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
chorus
And so I'm offering this simple phrase to kids from one to ninety-two;
Although it's been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas to you!

Some children see Him lily white,
the baby Jesus born this night.

with tresses soft and fair.
Some children see Him bronzed and brown,
The Lord of heav'n to earth come down.
Some children see Him bronzed and brown,
with dark and heavy hair.
v2
Some children see Him almond-eyed,
this Savior whom we kneel beside.

sweet Mary's Son to whom we pray.
Some children see him dark as they,
and, ah! they love Him, too!
v3
The children in each different place
will see the baby Jesus' face
like theirs, but bright with heavenly grace,
and filled with holy light.
O lay aside each earthly thing
and with thy heart as offering,
come worship now the infant King.
'Tis love that's born tonight!

Eere the worlds began to be.
He is Alpha and Omega

Of the things that are, that have been;
And that future years shall see
Evermore and evermore!
v2
At his word the worlds were framèd
He commanded, it was done
Heav’n and earth and depths of ocean
In their threefold order one.
All that grows beneath the shining
Of the moon and burning sun—
Evermore and evermore.

In the Bleak Midwinter
02:49
|
|||

v1
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan.
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone.
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow, snow on snow;
In the bleak midwinter, long, long ago.
v2
Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him
Nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign.
In the bleak mid-winter
A stable-place sufficed
Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
v3
Enough for Him whom cherubim
Worship night and day;
A breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay
Enough for Him whom angels fall down before
The ox and ass and camel
Which adore.
v4
Angels and archangels may have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air.
But only His mother in her maiden bliss;
Worshiped the Beloved
With a kiss.
What can I give Him
Poor as I am?
v5
If I were a shepherd, I would give a lamb;
If I were a wise man, I would do my part;
Yet what I can, I give Him
Give my heart.

Come, thou long expected Jesus
Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear desire of every nation, Joy of every longing heart.
v2
Born Thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal spirit rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come,
offspring of the Virgin's womb:

hail th'incarnate Deity,
pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel.
v3
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
risen with healing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glory by,
born that we no more may die,
born to raise us from the earth,
born to give us second birth.

Let all mortal flesh keep silence
And with fear and trembling stand.
Ponder nothing worldly minded
For with blessing in His hand Christ our God to earth descenders
Our full homage to demand.

As of old on earth He stood.
Lord of lords human nature, in the body and the blood,
He will give to all the faithful His own self for heavenly food.

Cherubim with watchful eye
Veil their faces to His presence;
As with ceaseless voice they cry
"Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord most high!"

Benji Goodrich Highlands Ranch, Colorado
I have been playing piano for 30+ years. My first few years were rough. I hated to practice and didn't have much promise. Through God's grace I kept at it and have grown to love it. If you are a budding musician keep at it - you will never regret being able to play an instrument. ... more
