Hallelulah -it's Christmas !


Firstly, Happy Christmas to one and all. The theme of our daytime Christmas music liturgy was certainly Hallelujah, with one of choirboy's own compositions and a re-working of the current Christmas number 1 (the Leonard Cohen composition) by Alexandra Burke, Hallelujah with words by Choirboy (if anyone is interested they can email me for more details).

Communion Oh Holy night
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining. Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! Oh night divine, oh night when Christ was born, Oh night, divine, oh night, oh night divine.

Hallelujah, Jesus Christ is born

Recessional Mary’s boy child

Mary’s Boy Child

V1
Long time ago in Bethlehem,
So the Holy Bible say,
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas day
V2
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
They saw a bright new shining star,
They heard a choir sing through the night
The music seemed to come from afar,
V3
Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary,
Come to bethlehem that night,
They found no place to bear her child,
Not a single room was in sight.
V4
By and by, they find a little nook,
In a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark,
Mary's litlle Boy was born!

Chorus
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A newborn King was born today,
And man will live forever more,
Because of Christmas day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say,
That Man will live forever more,
Because of Christmas day.
Hallelujah, Jesus Christ is born
V1
Today in David’s house is born
A saviour who is Christ the Lord
Born of a virgin, holy and pure
God incarnate to save us all

V2
In a manger the baby lies
Born that man no more may die
Born to save the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth

V3
Choirs of angels sing for joy
Shepherds find the newborn boy
In a stable, lowly and meek
They gather around the Prince of Peace

V4
So rejoice this heavenly morn
Jesus, Lord, our saviour is born
Peace, goodwill to all men on earth
Today we celebrate our saviour’s birth

Chorus
So with our voices we shout and sing
We sing the praise of our newborn king
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus Christ is born
