IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

Edward Pola, George Wyle, and John Moss

for us this day / Hallelujah, Christ was born

It's the most wonderful time of the year / With the kids jingle belling / And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer" / It's the most wonderful time of the year / It's the hap-happiest season of all / With those holiday greetings / And gay happy meetings / When friends come to call / It's the hap-happiest season of all There'll be parties for hosting / Marshmallows for toasting / And caroling out in the snow / There'll be laughter and stories[1] / And tales of the glories of / Christmases long, long ago It's the most wonderful time of the year / There'll be much mistletoeing / And hearts will be glowing / When love ones are near / It's the most wonderful time of the year It's the most wonderful time of the year / There'll be much mistletoeing / And hearts will be glowing / When love ones are near / It's the most wonderful time / It's the most wonderful time / It's the most wonderful time of the year [1. There'll be scary ghost stories]

can believe / In the power of love, we can all meet a need / And love can change the world forever Behind the lights and the Christmas cheer / People try to hide their fear / Many hungry hearts are lost and cold / But we can be the light of Christ / Bring some joy to someones life / And share the greatest story ever told Love can change the world / Love can change the world We are His hands, we are His feet / Across a thousand miles, or across your street / We are His hands, we are His feet / Across a thousand miles, or across your street / Weve got a gift, lets give it away / Make a difference today

ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

Trad. French Carol

You, the Ancient One / In the frame of man be bound / Lying there with feet and hands / Fully God and fully Man Who could see and who could know / You had left Your Kingdom's Throne / Baby crying in a manger? / You had come to give Your life / As a holy sacrifice / Nails would pierce your feet and hands / For every heart and every man CHORUS Holy Lamb of God, how we love You / Shepherd of our hearts, how we praise You / We were blind and lost, but You came to rescue us / And we thank You, Holy Lamb of God Now You are the risen One / All You came to do You've done / On this Christmas, we remember / How Love came down to set us free / From our sin and from our fear / Lord of all we bow our hearts / To the wonder that You are And we thank You Holy Lamb of God / Yes, we thank You Holy Lamb of God

THE FIRST NOEL

Whila Hutson and Alfred Burt

Some children see Him lily white / The Baby Jesus born this night / Some children see Him lily white / 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 Some children see Him almondeyed / This Savior Whom we kneel beside / Some children see Him almond-eyed / With skin of golden hue Some children see Him dark as they / Sweet Mary's Son to Whom we pray / Some children see Him dark as they / And, oh! they love Him, too! 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!

Trad. English Carol
