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

Mary did you know, that your baby boy, would save our sons and daughters?

Did you know, that your baby boy, has come to make you new?

This Child that you delivered, will soon deliver you.

Did you know, that your baby boy, has walked where angels trod?

And when you kiss your little baby, you’ve kissed the face of God?

Oh, Mary did you know.

Bridge

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?

Mary did you know, that your baby boy, will one day rule the nations?

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

Verse 2

Engine's getting hot

Dodge the kangaroos

Swaggie climbs aboard

He is welcome too

All the family is there

Sitting by the pool

Christmas Day the Aussie way

By the B-B-Que

Verse 3

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

The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

Verse 2

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 side 'til morning is nigh

Verse 3

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 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
