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

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
Rev. Dan Berris - St Anglican Thomas Church
ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID’S CITY
Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed
There a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her little child
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 meek 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 on
To the place where He is gone
HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING
Hark the Herald Angels sing Glory to the newborn King, Peace on earth, and mercy mild, 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”.
Hark! The herald Angels sing Glory to the newborn King. Christ by highest Heaven adored; Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of a Virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see! Hail the incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark! The herald Angels sing Glory to the newborn King.
Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail, the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings; Risen with healing in His wings.
Mild He lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth Born to give them second birth.
Hark! The herald Angels sing Glory to the newborn King.

AWAY IN A MANGER
Away in a manger, no crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky, looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing the Baby awakes
The little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky
And stay by my side, 'til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And take us to heaven to live with Thee there
WE THREE KINGS
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
CHORUS
O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect Light
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign
CHORUS
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia
Sounds through the earth and skies
CHORUS

JINGLE BELLS (Santa’s Visit)
Dashing through the bush, in a rusty Holden ute, Kicking up the dust, esky in the boot
Kelpie by my side, singing Christmas songs, It’s summertime and I am in my singlet, shorts and thongs. Oh!
CHORUS
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer’s day, hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut. Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute.
Engine’s getting hot, we dodge the kangaroos, The swaggie climbs aboard, he is welcome too.
All the family is there, sitting by the pool, Christmas day in the Aussie way, by the Barbecue. Oh!
CHORUS
Come the afternoon, grandpa has a doze, The kids and Uncle Bruce, are swimming in their clothes. The time comes round to go, we take a family snap, And pack the car and all shoot through before the washing up. Oh!
CHORUS
