Children’s Christmas Mass

Midnight

Midnight-
There’s the strangest feeling in the air tonight,
There’s something going on but I can’t make it out,
I wonder what it’s all about?

Starlight –
Breaking through the darkness in the dead of night,
Illuminates the path that takes you out of sight,
And all the way to Bethlehem.

Tonight’s events were planned in heaven,
The greatest story ever penned.
Heaven and earth have come together,
And life has come to Bethlehem.

Angels –
Taking care of things that only they can do,
Are waiting in the wings to bring the joyful news,
It’s going to turn the world around.

Strangers –
Having made arrangements for a night or two,
Have found accommodation in the crowded rooms.
The house is packed in Bethlehem.

Tonight’s events were planned in heaven,
The greatest story ever penned.
Heaven and earth have come together,
And life has come to Bethlehem.

Shepherds –
Minding their own business looking after things,
Are startled by an unexpected happening,
As angel choirs appear to them.

Wise men –
Taking charts and telescopes and compasses,
Investigate the star that takes them traveling,
Until they come to Bethlehem.

Tonight’s events were planned in heaven,
The greatest story ever penned.
Heaven and earth have come together,
And life has come to Bethlehem.

No Room At The Inn

No room at the inn
All reservations were made in the spring
We’re full to the brim
Sorry we can’t let you in.

No room at the inn,
we’re fully booked and the party’s in swing.
Please, pardon the din
sorry we can’t let you in.

Chorus
Mary, Joseph, tell me what you’re gonna do
There is, no way
You’ll be getting bed and breakfast for two.

No room at the inn,
I’d say your chances are probably slim
We’ve not got a thing
Sorry we can’t let you in.

No room at the inn,
Just take a look at the state that you’re in
Say, where have you been?
Sorry we can’t let you in.

Chorus
Mary, Joseph, tell me what you’re gonna do
There is, no way
You’ll be getting bed and breakfast for two.

No room at the inn,
Everyone’s saying the very same thing
We’d take anything
Somebody please let us in.

We’ve room at the inn,
It wouldn’t exactly be fit for a king!
Here, give me your things,
Hope you don’t mind mucking in!!

Little Drummer Boy

That’s fit to give the 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?

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.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

[Verse 1]
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 street shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

[Verse 2]
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God, the King
And peace to men on earth

[Verse 3]
How silently, how silently
The wondrous Gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven
No ear may hear His coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in

[Verse 4]
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
Oh, come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel!

Silent Night

[Verse 1]
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
