Mother Of Love

Mother
Take my hand
Lead me to a world I understand

Mother
Take me home
Help me find the strength to carry on

Everything in life we have is changing
But you are all I need to keep me still

Mother of love
Angel of light
I'm a long lost child
So alone in the night

Mother of love
Angel of light
You have saved this soul
You have given me sight

Mother
Keep me warm
Always be my lighthouse in the storm

Mother
Set me free
Give me wings to fly eternally

Mother of love
Angel of light
I'm a long lost child
So alone in the night

Mother of love
Angel of light
You have saved this soul
You have given me sight

Around the world the tides of war are rising
The suffering of children fills our eyes

Mother of love
Angel of light
I'm a long lost child
So alone in the night

Mother of love
Angel of light
You have saved this soul
You have woken me
Mother of love


In The Bleak Midwinter

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty winds 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 ago

Heaven cannot hold Him
Nor the earth sustain:
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign
In the bleak midwinter
Stable place sufficed
The Lord God almighty
Jesus Christ

Though what can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what can I give him
I would give my heart

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty winds 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 ago


O Come All Ye Faithful

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
Come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him, born the King of angels

O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God in the highest

O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning
Jesus, to Thee be glory given
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing

O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.


Silent Night

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
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts singing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth


God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem, in Israel
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
Though which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed Angel came
And unto certain Shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name.
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

"Fear not then” said the Angel
"Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure Virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might."
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.


Good King Wenceslas

Good King Wenceslas once looked out
On the feast of Stephen
When the snow lay round about
Deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight
Gathering winter fuel

"Bring me flesh and bring me wine
Bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I will see him dine
When we bear him thither.”
Page and monarch forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the rude wind's wild lament
And the bitter weather

"Sire, the night is darker now
And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how
I can go no longer.”
"Mark my footsteps, my good page
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly.”


Away In A Manger

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

The cattle are lowing
A baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
´Til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And fit us for heaven
To live with You there

(Bless all the dear children)
(In Thy tender care)
(And fit us for heaven)
(To live with You there)


Once In Royal David’s City

Once in royal David’s city
Stood a lowly cattle shed
Where a mother laid her Baby
In a manger for His bed
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ, the little Child

He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all
And His shelter was a stable
And His cradle was a stall
With the poor, and mean, and lowly
Lived on earth our Saviour holy

And our eyes at last shall see Him
Through His own redeeming love
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above
And He cares when we are sad
And He shares when we are glad


I Saw Three Ships

I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning

And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning?

The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day in the morning

Pray, wither sailed those ships all three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Pray, wither sailed those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning?

And O they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And O they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas Day in the morning

And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas Day in the morning.


Hark The Herald Angels Sing

Hark the herald angels sing;
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim;
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Christ by highest heav’n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and Iife to all He brings
Ris’n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!"


The First Noël

The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Save the children of the world,
No war, no war
We are their saviours and love is their cure
No war, no war
The children cried
We are their saviours, with love on our side

And the star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem the little kid rest
And there it did both pause and stay
And over the place where Jesus did lay

Save the children of the world,
No war, no war
We are their saviours and love is their cure
No war, no war
The children cried
We are their saviours, with love on our side

The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Save the children of the world,
No war, no war
We are their saviours and love is their cure
No war, no war
The children cried
We are their saviours, with love on our side

Save the children of the world,
No war, no war
We are their saviours and love is their cure
No war, no war
The children cried
We are their saviours, with love on our side


Come Some Christmas Eve Or Hallowe’en
It's raining and it's cold outside
Come may I take shelter by your side
Now it's strange my train's abandoning me
Run aside don't cry amongst the queue

Now your fading figure fades from view
It's tearing what some tunnel air can do
What a day for dragons and for dreams
If this was Christmas Eve or Hallowe’en

You are rare
Sweeter than an apple or pear
You are mine
Hold on, you are love
You are sun
You are blue

Twenty years have passed and now I'm home
Once more my haunted taunted soul is sown
I saw her yesterday and things were fine
She's settled with a new man, so unkind

Oh to touch your hand and see your smile
Walk again with you for just one mile
It’s Hallowe'en and dragons without dreams
But one thing they love, blue will turn to green

And you’ll be there
Waiting with your hands in the air
You’ll be mine
Hold on, we'll be love
We’ll be sun
We’ll be skies
We’ll be skies


Ellan Vannin

When the summer day is over
Its busy cares have flown
I will sit beneath the starlight
With a weary heart alone

Then it rises like a vision
Sparkling bright it shines for me
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea

Let me hear the ocean murmur
Let me watch your stormy sky
Then above the emerald waters
Sings the seagull as she flies

Then it rises like a vision
Sparkling bright it shines for me
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea

And in all my times of sorrow
And on some lonely shore
I'll go back to Ellan Vannin
To my childhood days once more
