Come and Join the Celebration 

 
Chorus 

Come and join the celebration. 

It’s a very special day. 

Come and share the jubilation. 

There’s a new King born today. 

 

See the shepherds 

Hurry down to Bethlehem. 

Gaze in wonder,  

At the son of God who lay before them. 

 

Chorus 

 

Wise men journey 

Led to worship by a star. 

Kneel in homage,  

Bearing precious gifts from lands afar, so 

 

Chorus 

 

‘God is with us’ 

Round the world the message bring, 

‘He is with us’ 

‘Welcome’ all the bells on earth are pealing.

Calypso Carol 

See him lying on a bed of straw: 

A draughty stable with an open door; 

Mary cradling the babe she bore – 

The Prince of glory is His name. 

 

Chorus 

O now carry me to Bethlehem!

To see the Lord appear to men 

Just as poor as was the stable then 

The prince of glory when He came 

 

Star of silver, sweep across the skies, 

Show where Jesus in the manger lies; 

Shepherds swiftly from your stupor rise 

To see the saviour of the world. 

 

Chorus 

 

Angels, sing the song that you began, 

Bring God’s glory to the heart of man; 

Sing that Bethl’ems little baby can 

Be salvation to the soul 

 

Chorus 

 

Mine are riches, from your poverty, 

From Your innocence eternity; 

Mine forgiveness by your death for me, 

Child of sorrow for my joy. 

 

Chorus

Away in a Manger 

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed 

The little lord Jesus, laid down his sweet head 

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, 

The little lord Jesus, asleep on the hay. 

 

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,  

But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. 

I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,  

And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh. 

 

Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay 

Close by me forever, and love me, I pray. 

Bless all the dear children in thy tender care. 

And take us to heaven, to live with thee there.

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;

And a Happy New Year. 

 

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding x 3 

And bring some out here.

We won’t go until we get some x 3 

So bring it right here!
