o holy night!
the stars are brightly shining
it is the night
of our dear savior's birth
long lay the world
in sin and error pining
till he appear'd
and the soul felt its worth
a thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices
for yonder breaks
a new and glorious morn
fall on your knees!
o, hear the angel voices!
o, night divine
o, night when Christ was born
o, night divine
o, night divine
o, night divine
. . .

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 sing alleluia
Christ the savior is born
Christ the savior 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
Jesus lord at thy birth
Jesus lord at thy birth
sleep in heavenly peace

sleighbells ring, are you list'nin?
in the lane snow is glist'nin
a beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walkin' in a winter wonderland!
gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is the new bird
he sings a love song
as we go along
walkin' in a winter wonderland!
in the meadow we can build a snowman
then pretend that he is parson brown
he'll say, "are you married?"
we'll say, "no, man!
but you can do the job when you're in town!"
later on we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
to face unafraid
the plans that we made
walkin' in a winter wonderland!
in the meadow we can build a snowman
and pretend that he's a circus clown
we'll have lots of fun with mr. snowman
until the other kiddies knock him down!
when it snows, ain't it thrillin'
though your nose gets a chillin'?
we'll frolic and play
the eskimo way
walkin' in a winter wonderland!
walkin' in a winter wonderland!
(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)
sleighbells ring are you listenin'
(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)
sleighbells ring are you listenin'
in the lane snow is glistenin'
(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)
are you listenin', sleighbells ring are you listenin'
(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)
sleighbells ring are you listenin', sleighbells ring ¡

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 ever lasting light
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight
for christ is born of mary
and gathered all above
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wandering love
o morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth
and praises sing to god the king
and peace to men on earth
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 immanuel!
. . .

god and sinners reconciled
joyful all ye nations rise
join the triumph of the skies
with th'angelic host proclaim
"christ is born in bethlehem."

born to raise the sons of earth
born to give them second birth
hark! the herald angels sing
"glory to the newborn king!"

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows
all of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
they never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games
then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
then how the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee (yippee)
"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
you'll go down in history."

until tonight
my heart was just half full
I'd never known the fruit which fed the soul
but now I see what may put to rest my longing
for I have seen, the face of love
the grace of god, the face of love
in silence I feared my heart
would remain words unheard
inside a separateness of skin
but now I know that the skin just veils the soul
for I have seen, the face of love
the grace of god, the face of love
so take my hand and knowing
with it I also give my heart
wanting never to be separate again
let eternity begin
if you were flame
I'd allow myself to be consumed completely
were you wind I would wish you pass through me
but now I know that the skin just veils the soul
for I have seen, the face of love
the grace of god, the face of love

a) Go Tell It On the Mountain
when I was a seeker
I sought both night and day
I asked the lord to help me
and he showed me the way
go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and ev'rywhere
go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born
he made me a watchman
up on the city wall
and if I am a Christian
I am the least of all
go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and ev'rywhere
go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born
while shepherds kept their watching
o'er wand'ring flock by night
behold! from out of the heavens
there shown a holy light
go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and ev'rywhere
go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born
go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and ev'rywhere
go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born
b) From a Distance
God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us ¡
(from a distance)
c) Life Uncommon
I've heard your anguish
oh! I've heard your hearts cry out
we're tired, oh! we are weary
oh! we aren't worn out
set down your chains
¡Їtil only faith remains
set down your chains
and lend your voices
only to sounds of freedom
oh, no longer lend your strength to that
which you wish to be free from
fill your lives with love and brav'ry
and we shall lead a life uncommon
there are plenty of people
who pray for peace
but if praying were enough
oh! it would have come to be
don't ever let your words enslave no one
and the heavens will hush themselves
to hear our voices ring out clear
with sounds of freedom
sounds of freedom
come on you unbelievers
oh! move out of the way
there is a new army coming
oh! and we are armed with faith
oh! live, oh! we must give
oh! live
and lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
no longer lend your strength
to that which you wish to be free from
fill your lives with love and brav'ry
and we shall lead
a life uncommon
fill your lives with love and brav'ry
oh! and we shall lead
a life uncommon
(From a Distance again)
god is watching us, god is watching us,
god is watching us from a distance
god is watching us, god is watching us,
god is watching us from a distance

I wonder as I wander
out under the sky
how Jesus the savior
did come to die
to save lowly people
like you and like I
I wonder as I wander
out under the sky
when Jesus was born
it was in a cow's stall
with shepherds and wise men
and angels and all
the blessings of Christmas
from heaven did fall
and the weary world woke
to the savior's call
. . .

in the end only kindness matters
in the end
ah mmmmmmmmm ah
if I could tell the world just one thing
it would be that we're all okay
and not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I'll gather myself around my faith
for light does the darkness most fear
my hands are small, I know
but they're not yours,
they are my own
but they're not yours,
they are my own
and I am never broken
poverty stole your golden shoes
it didn't steal your laughter
and heartache came to visit me
but I knew it wasn't ever after
we will fight not out of spite
for someone must stand up for what's right
'cause where there's a man who has no voice
there ours shall go singing
my hands are small, I know
but they're not yours,
they are my own
but they're not yours,
they are my own
I am never broken
('cuz) in the end only kindness matters
in the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
my hands are small, I know
but they're not yours,
they are my own
but they're not yours,
they are my own
my hands are small, I know
but they're not yours,
they are my own
but they're not yours,
they are my own
and I am never broken
we are never broken
we are god's eyes
god's hands
god's hands
we are god's eyes
we are god's eyes
we are reflections of god
(god's hands)
we are reflections of god
(we are god's eyes)
we are reflections of god
