Do You Hear What I Hear Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear? Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear? A song, a song high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king Do you know what I know? In your palace warm, mighty king Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?) A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring him silver and gold Let us bring him silver and gold Said the king to the people everywhere Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!) Pray for peace, people, everywhere Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!) The Child, the Child sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light

I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to all! And thought how as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along The unbroken song Of peace on earth, good-will to all! Let love reign in our hearts anew And may our lives with love ring true The light shall come and sound the call Of peace on earth good will to all And in despair I bowed my head; "There is no peace on earth," I said; "For hate is strong And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to all!" Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead ; nor doth he sleep! The Wrong shall fail, The Right prevail, With peace on earth, good-will to all!" Lord bend our angers into deeds, Let fear give way to Kingdom peace Like healing rain let justice fall With peace on earth good will to all Let love reign in our hearts anew And may the joy of Christ ring true Come quickly Lord so we may know Of peace on earth good will to all

In the First Light In the first light of a new day No one knew He had arrived Things continued as they had been While a newborn softly cried. But the heavens wrapped in wonder Knew the meaning of His birth In the weakness of a baby They knew God had come to earth. As His mother held him closely, It was hard to understand That this baby not yet speaking Was the Word of God to man. He would tell them of His kingdom, But their hearts would not believe They would hate Him and in anger They would nail Him to a tree. But the sadness would be broken As the song of life arose And the First born of creation Would ascend and take his throne. He had left it to redeem us, But before His life began He knew He'd come back not as a baby But as The Lord of ev'ry man. Hear the angels as they're singing On the morning of His birth But how much greater will our song be When He comes again, When He comes again Hear the angels as they're singing On the morning of His birth But how much greater will our song be When He comes again to Earth When He comes to rule the Earth! But how much greater will our song be When He comes to rule the Earth
