Come to us, oh Emmanuel

When is he coming?

When is he coming, when, oh when is he coming, the Redeemer?

When will we see him, when, oh when will we see him, the Redeemer?

Come, oh come, from your kingdom up there, from your kingdom up there above!
Come, oh come, to your people on earth, to your people on earth bring love!
Emmanuel! Emmanuel! Emmanuel!

Long years a-waiting, Many years here a-waiting the Redeemer!
Ready to greet him, always ready to meet him, the Redeemer!

Come, oh come, from your kingdom up there, from your kingdom up there above!
Come, oh come, to your people on earth, to your people on earth bring love!
Emmanuel! Emmanuel! Emmanuel!

Think of a world without any flowers

Think of a world without any flowers, think of a world without any trees.

Think of a sky without any sunshine, think of the air without any breeze.

We thank you, Lord, for flowers and trees and sunshine

We thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name.

Think of the world without any animals, think of a field without any herd.

Think of a stream without any fishes, think of a dawn without any bird.

We thank you, Lord, for all your living creatures,

We thank you, Lord, and praise your holy name.

Somewhere out there

Somewhere out there, beneath the pale blue light

Someone’s thinking of me and loving me tonight.

Somewhere out there, someone’s saying a prayer

That we’ll find one another in that big somewhere out there.

 

And even though I know how very far apart we are

It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby

It helps to think we’re sleeping underneath the same big sky.

 

Somewhere out there, if love can see us through.

Then we’ll be together somewhere out there

Out where dreams come true.

The Angel, Gabriel

The angel Gabriel from heaven came. His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame. All hail said he thou lowly maiden Mary, most highly favoured lady. Gloria.

For known a blessed mother thou shalt be. All generations laud and honour thee. Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold Most highly favoured lady. Gloria.

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head. To me be, as it pleaseth God, she said.  My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name. Most highly favoured lady. Gloria.

Joseph’s Coat

Joseph, he was Jacob’s favourite son. Of all the family Joseph was the special one. So Jacob bought his son a coat a multi-coloured coat to wear.

Joseph’s coat was elegant, the cut was fine. The tasteful style was the ultimate in good design. And this is why it caught the eye; a king would stop and stare. And when Joseph tried it on he knew his sheepskin days were gone.

Such a dazzling coat of many colours; how he loved his coat of many colours.
In a class above the rest it even went well with his vest.
Such a stunning coat of many colours; how he loved his coat of many colours.
It was red and yellow and green and brown and blue.

Joseph’s brothers weren’t too pleased with what they saw
they had never liked him all that much before
And now this coat had got their goat
They felt life was unfair. And when Joseph graced the scene, his brothers turned a shade of green.

His astounding clothing took the biscuit quite the smoothest person in the district. He looked  handsome, he looked smart, he was a walking work of art.
Such a dazzling coat of many colours; how he loved his coat of many colours.

It was red and yellow and green and brown and scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange and blue.

This Promise Is For You

When God blessed Abraham, the covenant promise began. By faith he was chosen from all of creation. This promise is for you.

And the lips of prophets foretold. How god’s promise of love would unfold.
A powerful vision of Justice and freedom. This promise is for you

Then came the final sign in the Lord’s most favoured time
A King, God’s Son, the Holy one. This promise is for you

Come Holy Spirit, send your gifts, inspire our hearts, Come Holy Spirit, lead us to the fullness of life.The promise fulfilled in Jesus Christ

And the child Mary held in her womb, by the wood of the cross and the tomb
Has died and is risen, our sins are forgiven. This promise is for you.

So what do we choose to do? Where do we choose to go?
Only in Christ is the fullness of life. This promise is for you.

Magnificat

My soul glorifies the Lord, my spirit rejoices
My God forever he will be, bless his holy name.
