Them Sing Them (reprise)
Ring Them, Sing Them
Ring them, ring them Chiming a song of hope from every spire Gold in
the window In the season of the child Sing them, sing them Good will
and rectitude in every voice Warm in the winter Tis the season to rejoice
Gloria in excelsis Deo Glory, this glorious holy night Gloria in excelsis
Deo O day O day of light Come O come - and see the miracle Come O come
- the miracle birth Come O come - and flourish the trumpets Heralding
peace on earth Heralding peace on earth Peace in the heart is peace
on earth
Rejoice
Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! From west to east, from great to least All,
all Creation, all, all Creation Every shepherd, every king Come join,
join the feast Kyrie eleison, adoramus te Kyrie eleison, adoramus te
Rejoice this day, rejoice Right this way, rejoice A child glad tidings
brings Even rocks and stones all sing: Rejoice! Very very merry merry
Very very merry merry day Very very merry merry Very merry Christmas
Very very merry and a Happy New Year Rejoice!
Around The Star
O Love, that makes the world go round Immanuel, bless our path around
the star Like the wise men who see it from afar And e'er to Bethlehem
are bound
Wondrous Tree Of Many Branches
Silver, green and white, in a coat of light Purple, red, gold, yellow
and blue Gloria, gloria O wondrous tree of many branches bright O wondrous
tree of many branches Crowned by a star How very, very fair and radiant
you are (O, decked in evergreen) O, how very very fair and radiant you
are Now we stand upright, like a candle light Purple, red, gold, yellow
and blue Gloria, gloria We're a wondrous tree of many branches, too
Our wondrous tree of many branches Is crowned by a star How very, very
fair and radiant you are (O, decked in evergreen) O, how very very fair
and radiant you are O wondrous tree of many branches Evergreen each
new year (Ever with good cheer)
This Day
Michael stood by the stable gate Saying "Now it's over, your long
wait A message and its messenger inside Wherever you bring love He will
reside I bring the smallest bed of splintered wood And matted hay I
bring a place for Man to rest his head eternally This day, this day"
Gabriel stood on the manger floor Saying "From this moment fear
no more A message and its messenger are here Whenever you bring love
He will appear I bring a single, tiny mustard seed upon the clay I bring
a hundred, thousand, million voices Joined in praise This day, this
day"
Immanuel
On that first Christmas morn - hope, hope was born And on this Christmas
morn- hope is born Immanuel, all the choirs of heaven proclaim Immanuel,
now and ever Truth doth reign Joy to the weary world O'er the meadow,
through the wood Down the chimney, covered with soot Joy to all mankind
with tidings good O, on that first Christmas morn- hope, hope was born
And on this Christmas morn- hope is born Immanuel, all the choirs of
heaven proclaim Immanuel, now and ever Truth doth reign Joy to the weary
world All the angels in the snow All His children, eyes all aglow All Creation beneath God's mistletoe
