oh holy night, star shining bright
follow the shepherds of bethlehem
angels so high, color the sky
let us rejoice as we sing with them
oh holy night let us come together
oh holy night let us sing forever
oh holy night let us come adore Him (come let us adore him?)
oh holy night let us kneel before our King
oh holy night, star shining bright
follow the wise coming from afar
they saw a sign, up in the sky
oh how we long for the morning star
oh holy night let us come together
oh holy night let us sing forever
oh holy night let us come adore Him
oh holy night let us kneel before our King
oh holy child, open your eyes
look how we wandered away from you
lonely you rise, up to the sky
joy to the world that has forsaken you
oh holy night let us come together
oh holy night let us sing forever
oh holy night let us come adore Him
oh holy night let us kneel before our King

Please shut down december radio
One more year of songs we already know
Please shut down december radio
We prefer the static over songs of peace and joy
Cause I don’t think that I’ll survive
One more ‘all I want for Christmas is you’
So I’ll ask for the clouds to let it
Snow let it snow let it snow
let it snow let it snow
please turn off the lights in the tree cause
I’m afraid that they’re way to bright for me
Then set free the reindeers on the lawn
I swear that you won’t miss them once they’re gone
Cause I don’t think that I’ll survive
One more heartfelt coca-cola ad
So I’ll ask for the clouds to let it
Snow let it snow let it snow
let it snow let it snow
and bury us alive

King Of The Jews

I've never cared too much
for the moon or the stars,
venus, jupiter or mars
But since I'm aware
'bout what's written up there
I can't sleep, I look up and stare
The king of the jews is born
The king of the jews is born
Three wise men made me see
So I made my decree
Bethlehem, your sons will set me free
I'm very glad to see
in this moonlit cloudy night
the stars are all out of sight
I sent my men away
had just one thing to say:
under two years, take them all away
The king of the jews is born
The king of the jews is born
Three wise men made me see
So I made my decree
Bethlehem, your sons will set me free

I traveled darkness,
I traveled darkness in search for the light
But no star was ever rising
Will it rise tonight
Will it rise tonight?
No wisemen’s wisdom, out here on the street (hummmm)
No shepherd to talk to, (hummm)
No angels singing (No angels singing)
I traveled darkness,
I tasted darkness in search for the light (in search for the light)
(But) no star was ever rising
Will it rise tonight (will it rise tonight?)
Your candles are burning,
but my bones are freezing cold
In search for the child,
but the child has been sold (but the child has been sold)
Don’t tell me the story
Don’t tell it again
Unless your hands do the talking, my friend
A seat at your table, a sip of your wine
just a little bit and I’ll be fine
No room for a stranger,
no room for surprise
I am a king in a beggar’s disguise.

Season's Greetings

Good night Yuletide angel
Single outline in the snow
Would have liked to lay beside you
Get a chance to fly you home
And let you know
You’re not the only one who’s ever known
What it’s like to be alone
Good night television
It’s been a passionate affair
Got me warmed up for the season
Expecting magic everywhere
(And) now I’m sure
I am the only one who’ll ever know
What it’s like to be alone
For every twinkling light
In all the starry night
There’s never one so bright
It’s led me home
Good night baby Jesus
Didn’t mean to give you hell
Would have liked to get to know you
Would have thought I’d treat you well
But there I go
Hey you’re not the only one who’s ever known
What it’s like to be alone

Een Kind Is Ons Geboren
04:34
|
|

|
Een kind is ons geboren,
een zoon is ons gegeven
en de heerschappij rust op zijn schouders.
Deze namen zal Hij dragen:
wonderbare raadsman,
goddelijk held, eeuwige vader, vredevorst.
Groot is Zijn heerschappij
aan de vrede zal geen einde komen.
Vrede op aarde
in de mensen een welbehagen.

Emmanuel

Who would have known,
who would have known that
the Lord of all would come this close?
Not in a storm or a great flood, no
in this child is were He’s found.
Who would have known,
who would have known
the Lord of all would come this close?
In this child is were we meet Him;
oh come and praise Emmanuel.
Emmanuel, Emmanuel.

Kyrie Eileison
03:22
|
|

|
I’m as innocent as the child
Who’s wanted for the crime
Of being without end
I’m as guilty as the child
I’m as guilty as the king
Who wants nothing less than death
for those with the breath
of innocence
the innocence of the child
Kyrie eleison

O Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant,
O 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.
O Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all that hear in heaven God's holy word.
Give to our Father glory in the Highest;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
All Hail! Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning,
O Jesus! for evermore be Thy name adored.
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.

Ding dong merrily on high,
In heav'n the bells are ringing:
Ding dong! verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
E'en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,
And "Io, io, io!"
By priest and people sungen.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers;
May you beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers.
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
