Song 1:Come and Join the Celebration

Chorus

Come and Join the celebration

It’s a very special day

Come and Join the celebration

There’s a new King born today

See the shepherds

Hurry down to Bethlehem

Gaze in wonder

At the son of God who lay before them

Chorus

Wise men journey

Led to worship by a star

Kneel in homage

Bringing precious gifts from lands afar, So

Chorus

God is with us

Round the world the message bring

He is with us

Welcome all the bells on earth are peeling

Chorus

Song 2: O Little Town of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem how still

We see thee lie.

Above thy deep and dreamless

Sleep the silent stars go by.

Yet in the dark streets shineth the everlasting light,

The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

O morning stars together proclaim the holy birth,

And praises sing to God the King

And peace to men on earth.

For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above.

While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love.

How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is giv’n!

So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heav’n.

No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin,

Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in.

O Holy child of Bethlehem descend to us, we pray.

Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell,

O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel.

O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie.

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by.

Yet in the dark streets shineth the everlasting light,

The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

Song 3: Follow That Star

He’s gonna be King of the Jews.

OK, maybe he’s only a baby,

but he’s gonna be big news.

He’s gonna be King of the Jews.

It sounds absurd but you can take our word,

he’s gonna be, yeah, you wait and see,

he’s gonna be big news.

We’ll go, follow that star,

shining, shining bright.

We’ll go follow that star

shining in the night.

We’ll get on our camels

and, keeping our eyes

fixed on the star in the skies,

we’ll ride to the place where it stops

and we’ll see, that’s where the baby will be.

(instrumental)

We’ll go, follow that star

shining, shining bright.

We’ll go follow that star

shining in the night.

(instrumental)

We’ll go, follow that star,

shining, shining bright.

We’ll go follow that star

shining in the night.

We’ll get on our camels

and, keeping our eyes

fixed on the star in the skies,

we’ll ride to the place where it stops

and we’ll see, that’s where the baby will be.

We’ll go, follow that star,

shining, shining bright.

We’ll go follow that star

shining in the night.

Song 4: Away in a Manger

Song 5: Mary’s Boy Child

Song 6: Do They Know it’s Christmas (acoustic)

It's Christmas time,

there's no need to be afraid

At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade

And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy

Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime

But say a prayer, pray for the other ones

At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun

There's a world outside your window,

and it's a world of dread and fear

Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you.

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life

Where nothing ever grows

No rain or rivers flow

Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you raise a glass for everyone

Here's to them underneath that burning sun

Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world

Feed the world Let them know it's Christmastime

Feed the world Let them know it's Christmastime again

Song 7: I’m a Believer

I thought there’s no more to life than tending sheep,

Then an angel came to me and said,

Get yourself to Bethlehem,

There you’ll find a king,

Everyone will come to worship him,

Then I saw his face,

Now I’m a believer,

Not a trace, of doubt in my mind,

He is love,

Now I’m believer He is the saviour of mankind.

Wisemen studied the skies and found a brand new star,

1-2-3- KINGS

So off they went to try and find the king,

Herod tried to stop them,

Tried to cause them pain,

Jesus is the sunshine in a world of rain,

Then I saw his face,

Now I’m a believer,

Not a trace, of doubt in my mind,

He is love,

Now I’m believer He is the saviour of mankind.

(instrumental)

Get yourself to Bethlehem,

There you’ll find a king,

Everyone will come to worship him,

Then I saw his face,

Now I’m a believer,

Not a trace, of doubt in my mind,

He is love,

Now I’m a believer He is the saviour of mankind.
