Sleep Now

The shepherds have finally gone on their way
Now is the time for rest
So by the fading light of your first day
Cradled at Mary's breast
You can seep now, sleep now
As Father looks on with a gleam in his eye
You can sleep now, sleep now
As ten thousand angels sing
Lullaby
Some kings have palaces, some kings have thrones
You have a stable and straw
One shining star is the jewel in your crown
Oxen the guard at your door
You can seep now, sleep now
As Father looks on with a gleam in his eye
You can sleep now, sleep now
As ten thousand angels sing
Lullaby
Lullaby
Sing a lullaby

Christ was born on Christmas day;
Wreathe the holly, twine the bay!
Christus Natus, Hodie,
The virgin's Son, the Holy One,
The Holy One of God!
Let the bright red berries glow,
Ev'rywhere in goodly show,
As to worship Him we go,
The virgin's Son, the Holy One,
The Holy One of God!
He is born to set us free,
He is born our Lord to be;
Ex Maria virgine,
The God, the Lord, by us adored,
By us adored evermore!
Now, believers, come and sing;
'Tis the birthday of the King!
We our lives to him now bring,
The virgin's Son, the Holy One,
The Holy One of God!
The Holy One of God!

Hallelujah, Christ is born,
We will call His name Jesus!
Hallelujah, Christ is born,
We will call His name Jesus! (x3)
The shepherds were watching o'er their flocks by night
When an angel appeared to them in radiant light.
He said "Do not fear, I bring you news of great joy,
A savior is born! Go see this wonderful boy!"
Hallelujah, Christ is born,
We will call His name Jesus!
Hallelujah, Christ is born,
We will call His name Jesus!
You will find the baby boy in a manger stall,
With a host of angels singing "Glory, glory to all,"
When the angels had gone, the shepherds trav'led to town,
And when they found Jesus, they spread the news around!
Hallelujah, Christ is born,
We will call His name Jesus!
Hallelujah, Christ is born,
We will call His name Jesus!
All the world will sing!
Hallelujah, Christ is born,
We will call His name Jesus!
Hallelujah, Christ is born,
We will call His name
We will call His name
We will call His name Jesus.
We will call His name
We will call His name
We will call His name Jesus.
Hallelujah, Christ is born!

Consider Him
04:11
|
|

|
Consider Him,
Consider Him who endured such opposition;
Consider Him.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
The author of our faith and its perfect completion;
Consider Him.
That you may not grow weary, grow weary and lose heart,
That you may not grow weary, grow weary and lose heart.
Consider Him,
Consider Him who endured the cross, and scorned the shame;
Consider Him.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
Who sits now with joy by the throne of the Father;
Consider Him.
That you may not grow weary, grow weary and lose heart,
That you may not grow weary, grow weary and lose heart.
Who endured such opposition
From sinful men,
Consider Him,
Consider Him,
Consider Him.

Long ago on Christmas Day, a star above gave rest to say,
A little boy below was born, for all to see that Christmas Morn,
A stable was the only place, to welcome Jesus full of grace.
The Wise Men came from far away, so long ago that Christmas Day.
Angels gathered all around, the tiny boy he made no sound.
He lay in peace upon the hay, the three wise Kings will guide His way.
Time has passed but still there's joy, for all to wonder and enjoy.
The world has changed, it lets us know, that Jesus listens, friend or foe.
Stories come and go sometimes,
His words may seem between the lines.
But he can give us truth and peace,
To father, mother, brother and niece.
He can give us truth and peace, give us truth and peace.
So this tale has long been told, another day within His fold.
His birth may give us heart this day, tomorrow let us sing Him praise.
His birth may give us heart this day, tomorrow let us sing Him praise.
Let us sing Him praise.

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back;
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back;
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And 'til we meet again;
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
Until we meet again.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back;
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And until we meet again, my friend,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Amen.

See the Child (Live)
03:32
|
|
||
|
See the child that Mary bore, upon her lap asleep.
Come unto Him and praise the Lord, with angels o'er Him to keep.
Bring Him your sorrow, all of your grief
Lay ev'ry weakness at His feet,
He will sustain you, give you peace,
And lead you into life.
See the child so sweet and dear, within the manger bare.
Lay on His alter all your fears,
And He will absolve your cares.
Bring Him your blindness, born of pride,
Give Him your broken heart to bind,
It was for this He suffered and died,
That He might make you whole.
See the child with gifts of gold, and He will carry you home.
He will sustain you and defend through perils yet unknown.
Com see the child, the king within,
Christ your constant heav'nly King
Has come to you in a manger bare,
Come worship and adore.
Come worship and adore.

For the Fallen
07:51
|
|
||
|
Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines
There is music in the desolation
And a glory that shines.
They went with songs to the battle they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against all odds uncounted
They fell with face to foe
They were staunch to the end against all odds uncounted
They fell with face to foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the Sun and in the morning
We will remember them
At the going down of the Sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
But where our desires are and our hopes profound
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight.
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known.
As the stars to night
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known.
As the stars to night
As the stars that shill be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heav'nly plain;
As the stars that are starry in times of darkness
To the end they remain.
As the stars that are starry in times of darkness
To the end they remain.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the Sun and in the morning
We will remember them
At the going down of the Sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
At the going down of the Sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Icy fingers down to your toes.

Winter's here and Christmas is near.

In Flanders Fields
02:16
|
|
||
|
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Down the Open Road
03:25
|
|
||
|
I am standing, staring out beyond
Beyond the simple scenes I see beyond my home
I feel a calling to an epic journey
A hidden trail into the vast and great unknown
My songs and my stories are oh so simple,
There must be much more to this life
So take me down the open road where I belong
Take me far beyond just simple songs,
Where I can wander and wonder, upon the distant shore
Oh take me there,
Down the open road
Take me far beyond, take me down that road.
So I listen to the drums within me
They're beating steady, proud and strong, but I am longing for more.
There's more inside me I have yet to feel
I know there's something waiting on those distant shores.
Beyond the horizons there's something calling,
Oh let my heart be free!
So take me down the open road where I belong
Take me far beyond just simple songs,
Where I can wander and wonder, upon the distant shore,
Oh take me there,
Down the open road
Take me far beyond, take me down that road.
The open road where I belong
Take me far beyond just simple songs,
Where I can wander and wonder, upon the distant shore,
Oh take me there,
Down the open road
There is something waiting there for me
There must be something I have yet to see
My heart be free, it's onward down the road
Please take me down the open road.

For the beauty of the earth,
For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.
For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flow'r,
Sun and moon and stars of light:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.
For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and brain's delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight.
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.
For each perfect gift of Thine,
To our race so freely giv'n
Graces human and divine,
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n
For thy Church that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Off'ring up on ev'ry shore
This pure sacrifice of love:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.
This our sacrifice of praise,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our sacrifice of praise.
This our sacrifice of praise.

The Old Year
02:47
|
|
||
|
The Old Year's gone away
To nothingness and night:
We cannot find him all the day
Nor hear him in the night:
He left no footstep, mark or place
In either shade or sun:
The last year he'd a neighbor's face,
In this he's known by none.
All nothing everywhere:
Mists we on mornings see
Have more of substance when they're here
And more of form than he.
He was a friend by every fire,
In every cot and hall -
A guest in every heart's desire,
And now he's nought at all.
Old papers thrown away,
Old garments cast aside,
The talk of yesterday,
All things identified;
But times once torn away
No voices can recall:
The eve of New Year's Day
Left the Old Year lost to all.

Blessed Mary, mother viginal,
Perfect maiden, star of the sea,
Have rememb'ance on the final day
On thy poor servant praying to thee.
Mirror without spot, red rose of Jerico,
Close garden of grace, hope in despair,
When my soul the body part fro,
Succor it from my enemies' rage.
Blessed Mary, mother viginal,
Perfect maiden, star of the sea.

Crux fidelis, inter omnes arbor una nobilis,

Dulce lignum, dulce clavo, dulce pondus sustinens.
Translation (by Edward Caswall, 1814-1878)
Faithful Cross, above all other, one and only noble Tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom, none in fruit thy peers may be.
Sweetest wood and sweetest iron, sweetest Weight is hung on thee.

Oh Danny Boy

Oh, Danny Boy the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and on the mountain side,
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
'Tis you, 'tis you must go, and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
Oh, Danny Boy, Oh, Danny Boy I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
If I am dead, as dead I well may be.
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come for me!
Oh, Danny Boy, Oh, Danny Boy, I love you so!

Ave verum corpus,

cujus latus perforatum
unda fluxit (et) sanguine:
esto nobis praegustatum
mortis in examine.
Amen.
Translation:
Hail, true Body,
born of the Virgin Mary,
who having truly suffered, was sacrificed
on the cross for all mankind,
whose pierced side
overflowed with water and blood:
May it be for us a foretaste
in the trial of death.
Amen.
