Little Donkey
Monday, November 3, 2008 9:56 No CommentsLittle donkey, little donkey
On a dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards
With the precious load.
Been a long time little donkey
Thro’ the winter’s night.
Don’t give up now little donkey
Bethlehem’s in sight.
Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem.
Follow the star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem.
Little donkey, little donkey
Had a heavy day
Little donkey carry Mary
Safely on her way.
Little donkey, [...]

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas Day in the morning?
Our Saviour Christ and His lady,
On Christmas Day, on [...]

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And Peace to [...]

love is the strongest thing in the world
Monday, October 20, 2008 22:34 1 CommentAre you willing to believe that love is the strongest
thing in the world – stronger than hate, stronger than
evil, stronger than death – and that the blessed life
which began in Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago is
the image and brightness of the Eternal Love? Then you
can keep Christmas.

We sate among the stalls at Bethlehem;
The dumb kine from their fodder turning them,
Softened their horn’d faces,
To almost human gazes
Toward the newly Born:
The simple shepherds from the star-lit brooks
Brought visionary looks,
As yet in their astonished hearing rung
The strange sweet angel-tongue:
The magi of the East, in sandals worn,
Knelt reverent, sweeping round,
With long pale [...]
A Christmas Carol by Josiah Gilbert Holland
Saturday, October 18, 2008 8:41 No CommentsA Christmas Carol
There’s a song in the air!
There’s a star in the sky!
There’s a mother’s deep prayer

For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a king.
There’s a tumult of joy
O’er the wonderful birth,
For the virgin’s sweet boy
Is the Lord of the earth.
Ay! the star [...]
