Holly Jolly Christmas

                                                                by, Micaela B.

Have a holly jolly Christmas, it's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow, but have a cup of cheer!
Have a holly jolly Christmas, and when you walk down the street
Say "Hello!" to friends you know, and every one you meet

Ho! Ho! The mistletoe, hung where you can see
(all girls) Somebody waits for you                                            
(all boys) Kiss her once for me!

Have a holly jolly Christmas, and in case you didn't hear
Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year!

**Interlude is whistled**

Holly jolly, Holly jolly, Oh!

Have a holly jolly Christmas, it's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow, but have a cup of cheer!
Have a holly jolly Christmas, and when you walk down the street
Say "Hello!" to friends you know, and every one you meet

Ho! Ho! The mistletoe, hung where you can see
(all girls) Somebody waits for you
(all boys) Kiss her once for me!

Have a holly jolly Christmas, and in case you didn't hear
Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year!

Ho! Ho!

Night of Silence

Cold are the people, winter of life,
We tremble in shadows this cold endless night,
Frozen in the snow, lie roses sleeping,
Flowers that will echo the sunrise,
Fire of hope is our only warmth,
Weary it's flame will be dying soon.

Voice in the distance, call in the night,
On wind you enfold us, you speak of the light,
Gentle on the ear you whisper softly,
Rumors of a dawn so embracing,
Breathless love awaits darkened souls,
Soon will we know of the morning.

Spirit among us, shine like the star,
Your light that guides shepherds and kings from afar,
Shimmer in the sky so empty, lonely,
Rising in the warmth of your Son's love,
Star unknowing of night and day,
Spirit we wait for your loving Son.
