It's been a while since we last talked Shared a meal and shared our thoughts Peace on earth is running dry Good will is in such short supply Are you sure you can just push through? How is that working out for you, how you'd like it to? If you've got it all together Well brother I'm glad for you But if you've seen some wintry weather Maybe you need a savior too Every day gets colder still Will we ever shake off this icy chill Lately I've been brought so low I've forgotten how the sun must glow This little light of mine Been a while since I've seen it shine, unconfined
2.
Another season has begun A skipping record every day Waiting for someone to come To break this cycle of our pain Oh, but when the time is right Oh, there will shine a light Oh, and peace will reign But these silver bells ring a little hollow It seems they ain't got nothing new to say My aching need's a bitter pill to swallow But I know redemption isn't far away Another season has begun And kings of men will flap their jaws Telling tales of battles won To wring out all the world's applause Those who walk in darkness now Their gloom and anguish will cease A light has shone and hope rains down Almighty God, our Prince of Peace

Come, Thou long-expected Jesus Born to set Thy people free From our fears and sins release us Let us find our rest in Thee Israel's strength and consolation Hope of all the earth Thou art Dear Desire of every nation Joy of every longing heart Born Thy people to deliver Born a child and yet a King Born to reign in us forever Now Thy gracious kingdom bring By Thine own eternal Spirit Rule in all our hearts alone By Thine all sufficient merit Raise us to Thy glorious throne Come to earth to taste our sadness He whose glorie-s knew no end By his life he brings us gladness Our Redeemer Shepherd Friend Leaving riches without number Born within a cattle stall This the everlasting wonder Christ was born Lord of all

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 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 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 O holy Child of Bethlehem Descend to us, we pray Cast out our sin and enter in Be born to us today We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell O come to us, abide with us Our Lord Emmanuel
