Moving on is a chance that you take everytime you try to stay together Say a word out of line and you find that the friends you had are gone Forever...forever So many faces in and out of my life Some will last, some will just be now and then Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again

O Rejoice, Ye Christians, Loudly Composer(s): Christian Keimann
Hallelujah
Oh rejoice, ye Christians, loudly For your joy is now begun Wondrous things our God hath done Tell abroad His goodness proudly Who our race hath honour'd thus That he deigns to dwell with us
Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness Christ hath done away with sadness Hence, all sorrow and repining For the Son of grace is shining
See, my soul, thy Saviour chooses Weakness here and poverty In such love He comes to thee Nor the hardest couch refuses All He suffers for thy good To redeem thee by His blood
Joy, then, joy beyond all gladness Christ hath done away with sadness Hence, all sorrow and repining For the Sun of grace is shining
Lord, how thall I thank Thee rightly I acknowledge that from Thee Every blessing flows to me Let me not forget it lightly But to Thee through all things cleave So shall heart and mind receive
Joy, yea, joy beyond all gladness Christ hath done away with sadness Hence, all sorrow, all repining For the Sun of grace is shining
Jesu, guard and guide Thy members Fill Thy brethren with Thy grace Hear their prayers in every place Quicken now life's faintest embers Grant all Christians, far and near Holy peace, a glad New Year
Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness Christ hath done away with sadness Hence, all sorrow, all repining For the Sun of grace is shining
O Little Town Of Bethlehem Composer(s): Phillips Brooks; Lewis H. Redner Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
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 wondering 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 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
Where children pure and happy Pray to the blessed Child Where misery cries out to thee Son of the mother mild Where charity stands watching And faith holds wide the door The dark night wakes, the glory breaks And Christmas comes once more
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!
But, Sweetheart, oh, why won't you tell me why No matter how m-m-much I try, please tell me why La-la-la-la-da, won't listen to my plea Won't say "Yes" on any language to me Oh-woh, and when you say "Si, Si", say "Si, Si"
La la la la la la la da da da da La da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da daaa
If you could only say "Si, Si", "Oui, Oui", "Ya, Ya", "Da, Da," Da da da la da And all my life would be a song, Nothing could go wrong, go wrong, go wrong
If you give in, I'll win I won't give up, give up Darling, if you give in I must hear you say "Si, Si"
Oh, won't you listen to my plea Please say "Yes" in any language to me Won't you say "Si, Si", say "Si, Si"
O Holy Night
((Adapted from: Minuit, Chrétiens - 1847 (aka Cantique De Noël))
Composer(s): Adolphe-Charles Adam; Placide Cappeau; John Sullivan Dwight
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis - 1958
and multiple other artists
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, the night when Christ was born O night, O holy night, O night divine! O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land The King of kings lay thus lowly manger In all our trials born to be our friends He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another His law is love and His gospel is peace Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother And in his name all oppression shall cease Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we With all our hearts we praise His holy name Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we His power and glory ever more proclaim! His power and glory ever more proclaim!
O Jesulein zart, dein Kripplein ist hart O Jesulein zart, wie liegst du so hart! Schlaf, Kind, schlaf, tu die Äuglein zu schlaf und gib uns die ewige Ruh! O Jesulein zart, dein Kripplein ist hart!
Schlaf, Jesulein, wohl nichts hindern soll Ochs, Esel und Schaf sind alle im Schlaf Schlaf, Kind, schlaf. Tu die Äuglein zu schlaf und gib uns die ewige Ruh! Schlaf, Jesulein, wohl, nichts hindern soll
Die Seraphim sing'n und Cherubim kling'n viel Engel im Stall, die wiegen dich all Schlaf, Kind, schlaf Tu die Äuglein zu schlaf und gib uns die ewige Ruh! Viel Engel im Stall, die wiegen dich all
Say Composer(s): James Seals; Dash Crofts Performer(s): Seals & Crofts
Say, have you ever been down, wished you had just a fin? Say, have you seen the ground, wonder where you've been? Say, I betcha don't know, I can tell your kind Say, you wouldn't try to go, 'fraid to blow your mind You ride a little, hide a little, close your eyes and sigh a little Guard your mind and hide a little Say, can'tcha hear me say?
Say, can you see the light bleedin' through the shade? Say, are you readin' me right, or are you too afraid? Say, take a bit of a look, tell me what you think you see Say, have you ever been took? You're lookin' like you ought to be You ride a little, hide a little, close your eyes and sigh a little Guard your mind and hide a little Say, can'tcha hear me say?
