Come they told me
Pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see,
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
So to honor Him
Pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.
Little Baby
Pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too,
Pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give our King
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you!
Pa rum pum pum
On my drum.
Mary nodded
Pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him
Pa rum pum pum
I played my best for Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.

O Come, O Come Emmanuel
02:45
|

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel
O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
And drive away the shades of night
And pierce the clouds and bring us light
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel
O come, Desire of nations, bind
All people in one heart and mind
Bid envy strife and quarrels cease
Fill all the world with heaven's peace
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel

Little Babe
04:27
|

Evergreens, all covered with snow
Christmas lights, with their shine to bestow
Presents, underneath the tree
All those Christmas gatherings
And of all the things that remind you
He's the one that should come to mind
The reason for the season
The joy to the world
His name is Jesus Christ
Born of a virgin, laid in a manger
Innocent, soon to be slain
There he lay, asleep on the hay
The sinless, helpless, little babe
Sentenced to die
for nothing more than being disliked
He laid down his life just for you and I
His disciples ran to hide
When they nailed His hands and pierced his side
And of all the things that remind you
He's the one that should come to mind
The reason for the season
The joy to the world
His name is Jesus Christ
Born of a virgin, laid in a manger
Innocent, soon to be slain
There he lay, asleep on the hay
The sinless, helpless, little babe

Gift for Me
05:40
|
|||
the cold, it burns my throat
the snow, it numbs my toes
the death I face will not erase
it's the ice that fills my veins
these woods I've called my home
the trees and I alone
no hope, no love that I can see
this will be the death of me
but stranger, is this gift for me?
it's foggy and I can barely see
your son and you stand with a coat and a key
my kind reply says that "I'd rather freeze"
he sat down his gift in the snow
faced his son and whispered words clearly and slow
"protect him with your life and with your pocket-knife"
I'll be back soon to rescue you both"
the stranger left into the wood
and the boy's arms wrapped me up quite good
with the coat he brought and the boy's own lot
he gave to me as much as he could
but child, it this gift for me?
it's freezing and my lungs can barely breathe
you've given all you can while in this cold you won't stand
I'm warmer now but your heart will surely cease
the man returned with carriage just behind
his lantern showed that I was sadly quite fine
but his son had grown so white
and I watched him die
the stranger knew and then began to cry
he grabbed us both and took us to his home
and buried his son, I heard each sob and groan
the man, he smiled, and said that I was his child
with grief he owned, he said that I was his own
but father, is this for me?
your son to die but I'm allowed to breathe
the love you've shown has risen and grown
let's go and fetch the lost to come home

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 sing 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
Silent night, holy night
Wonderous star, lend thy light
With the angels, let us sing
Allelujah to our King
Christ the savior is born

Unto Us, A Son
02:56
|
|||
"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this."
Isaiah 9:6-7
