I Saw Three Ships
Sunday, November 2, 2008 15:04 No CommentsI saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning.
And what was in those ships all three,
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 [...]
Once in Royal David’s City
Saturday, October 25, 2008 12:49 No CommentsOnce in Royal David’s City
Once in royal David’s city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little Child.
He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall:
With the poor, [...]

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay

To save us all from Satan’s power
When we were gone astray

Upon this blessed morn

Voices in the Mist By Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Monday, October 20, 2008 12:25 No CommentsVoices in the Mist
By Alfred, Lord Tennyson
The time draws near the birth of Christ:
The moon is hid; the night is still;
The Christmas bells from hill to hill
Answer each other in the mist.
Four voices of four hamlets round,
From far and near, on mead and moor,
Swell out and fail, as if a door
Were shut between me [...]
The Three Kings by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Saturday, October 18, 2008 11:41 No CommentsThe Three Kings
Three Kings came riding from far away,
Melchior and Gaspar and Baltasar;
Three Wise Men out of the East were they,
And they travelled by night and they slept by day,
For their guide was a beautiful, wonderful star.
The star was so beautiful, large and clear,
That all the other stars of the sky
Became a white mist in [...]
Christmas Carol by Paul Laurence Dunbar

Ring out, ye bells!
All Nature swells
With gladness at the wondrous story, –
The world was lorn,
But Christ is born
To change our sadness into glory.
Sing, earthlings, sing!
To-night a King
Hath come from heaven’s high throne to bless us.
The outstretched hand
O’er all the land
Is raised in pity to caress us.
Come at his call;
Be joyful all;
Away with mourning and [...]

The world will never see his kingdom bright.
