The Little Drummer Boy
Come, they told me,
Pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see;
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King!
Pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum
So to honor Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
When we come.
Mary nodded;
Pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time;
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him;
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him.
Pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me!
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum!
Baby Jesus,
Pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too;
Pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring,
Pa rum pum pum pum
That’s fit to give our King.
Pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you,
Pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum.
Lord’s Prayer
Our Father Who Art In Heaven,
Hallowed Be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom Come.
Thy Will Be Done
On Earth As It Is In Heaven.
Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread,
And Forgive Us Our Trespasses,
As We Forgive Those Who Trespass Against Us,
And Lead Us Not Into Temptation,
But Deliver Us From Evil.
For Thine Is The Kingdom,
And The Power, And The Glory,
For Ever And Ever
Amen

It Came Upon The Midnight Clear
Verse 1
It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth good will to men
From heaven’s all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
Verse 2
Still thro’ the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
O’er all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
And ever o’er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing
Verse 3
And ye beneath life’s crushing load
Whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing
Verse 4
For lo the days are hastening on
By prophet bards foretold
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing
Verse 5
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong
And man at war with man hears not
The love song which they bring
O hush the noise ye men of strife
And hear the angels sing
Scripture
Romans 8:18-25

Good Christian Men Rejoice
Verse 1
Good Christian men rejoice
With heart and soul and voice
Give ye heed to what we say
News news Jesus Christ is born today
Ox and ass before Him bow
And He is in the manger now
Christ is born today
Christ is born today
Verse 2
Good Christian men rejoice
With heart and soul and voice
Now ye hear of endless bliss
Joy joy Jesus Christ was born for this
He has opened heaven’s door
And man is blessed evermore
Christ was born for this
Christ was born for this
Verse 3
Good Christian men rejoice
With heart and soul and voice
Now ye need not fear the grave
Peace peace Jesus Christ was born to save
Calls you one and calls you all
To gain His everlasting hall
Christ was born to save
Christ was born to save
