We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

O star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, voices raising
Worshiping God on high

Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

O star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

From the East, we journey afar
Led by faith and guided by star
Through the desert, hope sustaining
To the child our hearts are reigning

See the babe in lowly stall
Love’s great gift for one and all
Hope eternal, joy unending
Heaven and Earth in peace descending

Light eternal, pure and divine
Fills the Earth with holy shine
Kings bow low, and shepherds wonder
God’s great love, a gift of thunder

O star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Lyrics adapted by Nik Bear Brown
https://soundcloud.com/nik-bear-brown

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.

For Christ is born of Mary;
and, gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wond'ring love.
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is giv'n!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of His heav'n.
No ear may hear His coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive Him still,
the dear Christ enters in.

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;
O come to us, abide with us,
our Lord Emmanuel!

O little town of Bethlehem,
your hills and valleys sing,
of shepherds watching through the night,
as heaven greets its King.
The lambs are still, the stars are bright,
a promise whispers clear;
that love has come to dwell with us,
and cast away our fear.

Through centuries your story shines,
a beacon to the lost,
reminding hearts of peace divine,
and love at any cost.
From manger low to heaven’s throne,
a Savior’s path unfolds;
the light of Bethlehem still burns,
a mystery to behold.

O little town, your humble streets,
once bore the Lord of grace,
and now His light through time repeats,
to every time and place.
A silent prayer, a hopeful call,
He hears the faithful plea;
O Bethlehem, your gift of love,
redeems eternity.

The Christ Child – Born in Bethlehem, a symbol of salvation and divine love.
Mary – Mother of Christ, representing purity and grace.
Angels – Guardians and messengers of wonder and praise.
The Town of Bethlehem – A silent witness to the birth of hope and redemption.
Shepherds – Humble figures who first witness the holy birth.

Ring Out, Wild Bells

from “Ring Out, Wild Bells” (1850) by Alfred, Lord Tennyson


Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
Let the clouds and frosty light fly by.
The year is fading, shadows grow,
Ring out the old, let it go, let it go.

Oh, ring out, ring out, wild bells tonight,
Bring the dawn, a brand-new light.
Ring in hope, and love, and peace,
A song of joy that never will cease.

Ring out the grief, the heavy chains,
The tears that fall like winter rains.
Ring in the hearts that long to heal,
A brighter love, a warmth that's real.

Oh, ring out, ring out, wild bells tonight,
Bring the dawn, a brand-new light.
Ring in hope, and love, and peace,
A song of joy that never will cease.

Ooh-oh, let the bells chime clear,
Let them echo far, let the world draw near.
Blue-eyed soul, let your voice take flight,
Singing to the stars on this holy night.

Ring out the pride, the hate, the lies,
Let truth shine bright in every eye.
Ring in the love of humankind,
The gentler hearts, the nobler minds.

Oh, ring out, ring out, wild bells tonight,
Bring the dawn, a brand-new light.
Ring in hope, and love, and peace,
A song of joy that never will cease.

Ring out, wild bells, let the world rejoice,
Sing it loud, with a soulful voice.
Through chimes and bells, let love take wing,
On this Christmas night, let the wild bells ring.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
Lyrics adapted by Nik Bear Brown
https://soundcloud.com/nik-bear-brown
from the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (1823) by Clement Clarke Moore


’Twas the night before Christmas, all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were dreaming, so snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.

Oh, ‘twas the night, the magical night,
When the world held its breath under silver moonlight.
The snow fell soft, the stars shone bright,
Oh, ‘twas the night, the Christmas night.

When out on the lawn, there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window, I flew like a flash,
Threw open the shutters and lifted the sash.
Oh, the moon on the snow, it shimmered so clear,
And then I saw him, the man of the year.

With a sleigh full of toys and eight tiny deer,
And a jolly old driver who brought Christmas cheer.
“Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now Prancer and Vixen!
On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen!”
Oh, ‘twas the night, the magical night,
When the world held its breath under silver moonlight.
The snow fell soft, the stars shone bright,
Oh, ‘twas the night, the Christmas night.

Down the chimney he came, his fur trimmed with soot,
A sack full of treasures from head to his foot.
His eyes, how they twinkled, his dimples so merry,
His cheeks red as roses, his nose like a cherry.
And he laughed with a belly that shook like jelly,
A right jolly elf, so warm and friendly.

He didn’t speak a word but went straight to his work,
Filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
He laid a finger aside of his nose,
And up the chimney, with a nod, he rose.
Oh, ‘twas the night, the magical night,
When the world held its breath under silver moonlight.
The snow fell soft, the stars shone bright,
Oh, ‘twas the night, the Christmas night.

And I heard him exclaim, as he flew out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.”

Main Characters
St. Nicholas – The jolly figure bringing Christmas cheer.
The Narrator – A witness to the magical Christmas night.
The Children – Dreaming of sugar plums and holiday joy.

Verse 1
Candy canes hang on frosted trees,
A gentle hush drifts on the breeze.
Shimmering tinsel, warm cocoa near,
In glowing windows, stories appear.
A year gone by, we’ve grown so much,
But Christmas stirs a gentle touch.

We find ourselves beneath the mistletoe.
Each note, each sigh, lights a spark inside,
Carols in the snow help our hearts to guide.

How laughter glistens where the holly grows.
From starry skies to lantern light,
Small wonders fill this winter night.

A promise carried through this holy night.
We hold each other, bright and true,
The gifts of love shine into view.

Carols in the snow, gently as they flow,
Kind words and wishes in the fireside glow.
With every chorus sung, we softly understand,
Christmas gives us hope to lend a helping hand.

Under the evergreen, we whisper dreams untold,
The magic of this moment never growing old.
