Little Donkey

Little donkey
Little donkey
On a dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards with your precious load

Been a long time
Little donkey
Through the winter's night
Don't give up now
Little donkey
Bethlehem's in sight

Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem

Little donkey, little donkey
Had a heavy day
Little donkey, carry Mary safely on her way.

Knock Knock Knock

Knock knock knock
We’re knocking at the door
We’ve knocked at a dozen more before
All we need is a place to stay,
please Mr Innkeeper what do you say?

Knock knock knock is there any room for us
We really don’t want to make a fuss
All we need is a place to stay
Please Mr Innkeeper what do you say

Knock knock knock
We’re knocking at the door
We’ve knocked at a dozen more before
All we need is a place to stay,
Please Mr Innkeeper what do you say?

Away in a Manger

Away in a manger
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
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

Three Kings were Riding

Three kings were riding,
Riding on their camels,
They had travelled far.
Three kings were riding,
Riding on their camels,
Following a great big star,
Following a great big star.

Three kings were riding,
Through the dusty desert,
Three wise men were they.
Three kings were riding,
Through the dusty desert,
With a star to guide the way,
With a star to guide the way.

Three kings were riding,
Riding on their camels,
They had travelled far.
Three kings were riding,
Riding on their camels,
Following a great big star,
Following a great big star.

Can You Hear the Angels Singing

Let’s celebrate this special day,
It’s time to raise the roof!
A miracle for one and all,
He’s born for me and you!

Can you hear the angels singing?
We will sing ’cause He is Lord,
Come and join us, we’re rejoicing,
Christ the Saviour, He is born!

So raise a glass and have a laugh,
Let’s fill this room with joy!
He brings us hope, around the globe,
A little baby boy!

Can you see the angels dancing?
We will dance ’cause He is Lord
Can’t you see we’re celebrating?
Christ the Saviour, He is born!

You’ve seen our show, so may you know
The hope that Love has come,
So leave your seats, get on your feet,
And join in everyone!

CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2

We’ll celebrate!

Mary’s Boy Child

Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A king was born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas day
Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir sing a song
The music seemed to come from afar

Hark, now hear the angels sing
A king was born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

We wish you a Merry Christmas (Makaton available on YouTube).

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy new year

Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
Good tidings for Christmas
And a happy new year

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy new year!
