Mary did you know, that your baby boy, would one day walk on water?

Did you know, that your baby boy, has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered, will soon deliver you.

And when you kiss your little baby, you’ve kissed the face of God?
Oh, Mary did you know.

The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dead will live again.
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the Lamb.
Verse 3
Mary did you know, that your baby boy, Is Lord of all creation?

Did you know, that your baby boy, Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
And the sleeping Child you're holding, Is the great I Am?
Mary did you know.

9. Aussie Jingle Bells Verse 1
Dashing through the bush
In a rusty Holden ute
Kicking up the dust
Esky in the boot
Kelpie by my side
Singing Christmas songs
It's summertime and I am in
My singlet shorts and thongs
Chorus
Oh Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day, Hey!
Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute

Engine's getting hot
Dodge the kangaroos
Swaggie climbs aboard

All the family is there
Sitting by the pool
Christmas Day the Aussie way
By the B-B-Que

Come the afternoon
Grandpa has a doze
The kids and Uncle Bruce
Are swimming in their clothes
The time comes round to go
We take the family snap
Then pack the car and all shoot through
Before the washing up

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head

But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love Thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my side 'til morning is nigh

Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there

11. O Little Town Of Bethlehem Verse 1
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
Verse 2
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
Page - 9
Verse 3
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
Verse 4
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

14. O Holy Night Verse 1
Oh holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth
Long lay the world, In sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks, A new and glorious morn
Chorus
Fall on your knees! Oh hear the angel voices.
Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine. Oh night, oh night divine
Verse 2
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 Orient Land.
The King of kings lay thus a lowly manger;
In all our trials, born to be our friends.
Verse 3
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.
