WHAT CHILD IS THIS PATHWAY OF THE STARS
What child is this who laid to rest It's love that guides
On Mary's lap is sleeping The pathway of the stars
Whom angels greet with anthem sweet The brilliance in the night of the sky
While shepherds watch the keeping. when the clouds are gone.
Refrain: 'twas God who made the light
This, this is Christ the King that guides the stars
Whom shepherds guard and angels That keeps the harmony up in the sky
sing Haste, haste to bring him laud where men on earth wants to live.
The babe, the son of Mary. Refrain:
Why lies he in such mean state Why is it so in this world,
Where ass and ox are feeding Why all men wants to love?
Good Christians fear for sinners here If only we'd let love guide our path.
The silent word is pleading. Then peace would be on earth
(Repeat Refrain) Just happiness and harmony

 SILENT NIGHT JOLLY OLD ST. NICHOLAS
Jolly old St. Nicholas
Silent night, holy night
Lend your ear this way
All is calm, all is bright
Don't you tell a single soul
Round yon virgin mother and child
What I'm going to say
Holy infant so tender and mild
Christmas eve is coming soon
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Now you dear old man
sleep in heavenly peace.
Whisper what you'll bring to me
Tell me if you can.
Silent night, holy night
When the clock is striking twelve
Shepherds quake at the sight
When I'm fast asleep
Glories stream from heaven afar
Down the chimney broad and black
Heavenly host sing alleluia
With your packed you'll creep
Christ the savior is born,
All the stockings you will find
Christ the savior is born.
Hanging in a row
Mine will be the shortest one
Silent night, holy night
You'll be sure to know.
Son of God, loves pure light
Jolly wants a pair of skates
Radiant beams from thy holy face
Susie wants a sleigh
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Nelly wants a picture book
Jesus Lord at thy birth,
Yellow, blue and gray
Jesus Lord at thy birth.
Ask for me my little brain
------------------------------------------------------
Isn't very bright
ANIMA CHRISTI
Choose for me old Sta. Claus
What you think is right.
Soul of Christ, sanctify me

Body of Christ, save me
AGNUS DEI
Water from the side of Christ, wash me
Passion of Christ, give me strength.
Ag-nus De-I quitollis peccata mundi
mi-se-re-re no----bis
Hear me Jesus, hide me in thy wounds
Agnus De-I quitollis peccata mundi
That I may never leave thy side
mise-re-re, mise-re-re no-bis
From all the evil that surrounds me,
Agnus-De-I quitollis peccata mundi
defend me
Do na no-bis pa----cem.
And when the call of death arrives,
bid me come to thee
That I may praise thee with thy saints,
forever.

The first Noel, the angels did say Ang natawo nga Bata didto sa Betlehem
