star


O, star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light.

bells


I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet, the words repeat
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Come, Thou long-expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free.
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day!

presence


Of all the gifts I may receive, 
there's only one I really need.
And it's Your presence, 
Your presence for Christmas.
