O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy "Fear not then," said the Angel, "Let nothing you affright, This day is born a Savior Of a virgin bright, To free all those who trust in Him From Satan's power and might." O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy The shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a-feeding In tempest, storm and wind: And went to Bethlehem straightway The Son of God to find. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy Well give Him all the glory Well give Him all the glory Well give Him all the glory Christ the Lord. For He alone is worthy For He alone is worthy For He alone is worthy Christ the Lord.

And when they came to Bethlehem Where our dear Savior lay, They found Him in a manger, Where oxen feed on hay; His Mother Mary kneeling down, Unto the Lord did pray. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place, And with true love and Living Word Each other now embrace; This holy tide of Christmas All other doth replace. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy ** ** *** ** **

It's the Most Covetous Time of the Year Lyrics link: http://www.incpu.org/covetous_flyer.pdf (a lyrical satire of the traditions surrounding Christmas) It's the most covetous time of the year We've got kid's jingle-yelling And everyone telling what you want to hear It's the most covetous time of the year There's not much God in the season at all With those holiday greetings And great happy meetings When friends come to call There's not much God in the season at all There'll be parties for hosting Much food for the roasting And getting drunk out in the snow There'll be people half-sharing And retailers selling And profits are making the show It's the most wonderful time of the year There'll be much mistletoe-ing And hearts will be glowing When traditions we hear And it's a fake faith and love time of the year There'll be parties for hosting Marshmallows for toasting And getting drunk out in the snow There'll be scary ghost stories Tall tales of our glories And Santa from long, long ago It's the most covetous time of the year We want much recognition And God will be missing We'll pretend that He's near It's a fake faith and love time It's a great retailing time It's the most covetous time... of the Year!!!

What Child Is This? www.christmas-lyrics.org/what-child-is-Tthis.html ~ public domain What Child is this, who laid to rest, On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and still proclaim. Haste, haste to bring Him praise, The Babe, the Son of Mary. Why lies He in such poor estate Where ox and donkey are feeding? Good Christian, hear: for sinners near, The silent Word is pleading. Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through, The Cross be borne, for me, for you: Hail, hail, the Word made flesh, The Babe, the Son of Mary! So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh; Come peasant, king to own Him. The King of Kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone Him. Raise, raise, the song on high, The Virgin sings her lullaby: Joy joy for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary! This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and still proclaim. Haste, haste to bring Him praise, The Babe, the Son of Mary.
