Once In Royal David’s City
Solo:
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 her little child
All:
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 Savior 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 leads His children along
To the place where He is gone
The Angel Gabriel 12 The Angel Gabriel - Backing.mp3
On a dark and mysterious night
It was Mary, a maiden so gentle and kind,
Who was struck by the strangest of sights.
An angel appearing before her declared;
Don’t be scared! Don’t be scared!
Solo:
I am the Angel Gabriel!
Sent down from heaven above.
I bring joy and happy news
From God - His message of love.
So don’t be afraid! I tell of a day
When Jesus your child shall be born:
The Saviour in a manger!
And He shall be known for all time
As the Saviour divine! oooh
Yes, the Saviour divine! Oooh
All:
‘What it pleases my God I shall be!’
Said Mary to Gabriel, down on her knees.
No more troubled in thought or in deed,
Most favoured of ladies,
What God has decreed
It shall be! It shall be!
I am the Angel Gabriel!
Sent down from heaven above.
I bring joy and happy news
From God - His message of love.
So don’t be afraid! I tell of a day
When Jesus your child shall be born:
The Saviour in a manger!
And He shall be known for all time
As the Saviour divine! oooh
Yes, the Saviour divine! Oooh
...Yes the Saviour divine!
Song: Love Shone Down
I had a dream that I was standing on a hillside
And all the lights of town
were shining far below
When up in the air beautiful voices
Sing a new song, let everyone know,
Oh and love shone down
over the hills and over the valleys,
Oh and love shone down over the world
Somebody spoke to me
I knew it was an angel
He said there’s something
that I think you ought to know.
Then he just smiled, said don’t be afraid now.
Sing a new song, let everyone know
And then he told me all about the baby Jesus,
How to find him where exactly I should go.
Then he was joined by millions of others
Sing a new song, let everyone know
Well did I dream or was I really on that hillside
On that Christmas night so very long ago,
When he was born Jesus, our Saviour
Sing a new song let everyone know
God’s Great Plan 13 God's Great Plan - Backing.mp3
Joseph was a carpenter,
He lived in Nazareth.
He was such a good and honest man
In a dream an angel came,
Told of the special day,
Mary his betrothed would bear a babe.
Jesus Christ, born to man!
Joseph had a special place in God’s great plan.
Joseph cast his doubt aside
To raise this holy child.
Mary soon his blessed bride would be.
Said the angel in a dream
‘Jesus the chosen King,
He will reign supreme eternally.’
Jesus Christ, born to man!
Joseph had a special place in God’s great plan.
Jesus Christ, born to man!
Joseph had a special place in God’s great plan.
In a while it came to pass,
The law from Rome at last
Counting all the subjects for their share.
By decree from mighty Rome,
People returning home
Crowded into lodgings ev’rywhere!
Jesus Christ, born to man! Ooh ooh!
Joseph was a carpenter,
He lived in Nazareth.
He was such a good and honest man.
Joseph was a carpenter,
He came from Bethlehem...
A very special place in God’s – Great – Plan!
Three Wise Men
From The Orient17 Three Wise Men From The Orient - Backing.mp3
There were three wise men from the orient,
Great and noble kings in the east;
Bearing gifts of gold, precious myrrh
and frankincense
For a child born King of kings.
And they travelled afar to follow a star,
To follow a star to Bethlehem;
And they travelled afar to follow a star,
All the way to Bethlehem.
From the dawn of time and through history
There was much foretold of this king.
From the scriptures, reading the ancient prophecies;
In the sky now signs revealed.
And they travelled afar to follow a star,
To follow a star to Bethlehem;
And they travelled afar to follow a star,
All the way to Bethlehem.
There were three wise men from the orient,
Great and noble kings in the east;
Bearing gifts of gold, precious myrrh
and frankincense
For a child born King of kings.
And they travelled afar to follow a star,
To follow a star to Bethlehem;
And they travelled afar to follow a star,
All the way to Bethlehem.
And they travelled afar to follow a star,
To follow a star to Bethlehem;
And they travelled afar to follow a star,
All the way to Bethlehem....
All the way to Bethlehem.
Bells Ring Out!22 Bells Ring Out (Optional Encore) - Backing.mp3
Many, many years ago
Was the story often told,
About a baby King and the promising
Of a world that’s filled with love.
Many years have come and gone
But the promise still lives on,
For we all remember the baby born
In a lowly cattle stall,
In a manger filled with straw...
The bells ring out for Christmas!
The bells ring out for Christmas!
The choirs sing; the angels bring
Good news from God, in all His glory.
Part 1: The bells ring out for Christmas!
Part 2: (The bells ring out for Christmas time!)
Part 1: The bells ring out for Christmas!
Part 2: (The bells ring out and when they call,)
Part 1: And when they call,
Part 2: (Come one and all,) Come one and all,
Part 1: (To praise the Lord,) To praise the Lord,
Both parts: In all His glory
All His glory, all His glory – now!
