Week 16 Songs and Poems:
Star Light, Star Bright
Star light star bright,
The first star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.
Away In a Manger
Away in a manger,
no crib for a bed.
The little Lord Jesus
laid down His sweet head..
The stars in the sky
looked down where He lay.
The little Lord Jesus,
asleep on the hay.
What Child Is This
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 angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
Oh, Come Let Us Adore Him
Oh, come let us adore Him.
Oh, come let us adore Him.
Oh, come let us adore Him.
Christ the Lord!
For He alone is worthy.
For He alone is worthy.
For He alone is worthy.
Christ the Lord.
For Jesus is our Savior.
For Jesus is our Savior.
For Jesus is our Savior.
Christ the Lord!
Christmas Star
(Tune: 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star')
(From Group Publishing)
Twinkle, twinkle, Christmas star
Over Bethlehem afar!
Up above the stable high,
You're the brightest in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, Christmas star
Over Bethlehem afar!
Twinkle, twinkle, Christmas star,
Now I know just what you are:
Light to guide us on our way
To the place where Jesus lay.
Twinkle, twinkle, Christmas star,
Now I know just what you are!
Silent Night
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright.
Round young 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 Savior is born.
Christ the Savior is born!
