JOY TO THE WORLD Joy to the world, the Lord is come. Let earth receive her king. Let every heart prepare him room And heaven and nature sing(repeat) He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of his righteousness, And wonders of his love(repeat)WINTER WONDERLAND

Sleigh bells ring, are you listnin? In the lane, snow is glistnin; A beautiful sight, were happy tonight, Walkin in a winter wonderland! Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is the new bird; He sings a love song, as we go along Walkin in a winter wonderland! In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown. Hell say, Are you married? Well say, No, Man! But you can do the job when youre in town! Later on well conspire, As we dream by the fire, To face unafraid the plans that we made, Walkin in a winter wonderland!

SILENT NIGHT Silent Night, Holy Night, All is calm, all is bright. Round yon virgin Mother and child, Holy infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent Night, Holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight; Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia, Christ the savior is born, Christ the savior is born. LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me; Let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be. With God as our Father, brothers all are we; Let me walk with my brother in perfect harmony. Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now. With every step I take, let this be my solemn vow: To take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally. Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.
