What Child is This
07:06
|

|
What child is this
Who lay to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
So bring him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to own him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
O raise, raise a song on high
His mother sings a lullaby
Joy, oh joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the son of Mary
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary

Joy to the World
05:30
|

|
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the earth receive her King!
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the angel voices ring
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the men their songs employ
Joy to the world then we sing
And repeat the sounding joy
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove (and makes the nations prove)
And glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the earth receive her King
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the angel voices ring

the Christ
08:11
|
|||
|
The Christ was born in a manger
He was not born in a mansion
His father left his mother
Raised by Joseph the carpenter
A boy he argued with rabbis
And struck them blind for the sinning
When he turned thirty three
He began his ministry
With woe to preachers and prophets
Who deceive with blindness and greed
Hosanna he cried as he whipped them
The wicked of buying and selling
He died upon a tree
An innocent man
He traveled through the land
A carpenter by hand
A multitude of sins
Finally swept away
The arc of the universe
Bends towards god's amazing grace
Because he loved the world so much
A ransom to save face
With Midas' touch
Each in its proper place
Kindness to mankind
Strength to the meek
Healing to the blind
Strength to those that justice seek

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel

1 O come, O come, Immanuel,
and ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.
Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
shall come to you, O Israel.
2 O come, O Wisdom from on high,
who ordered all things mightily;
to us the path of knowledge show
and teach us in its ways to go. Refrain
3 O come, O come, great Lord of might,
who to your tribes on Sinai's height
in ancient times did give the law
in cloud and majesty and awe. Refrain
4 O come, O Branch of Jesse's stem,
unto your own and rescue them!
From depths of hell your people save,
and give them victory o'er the grave. Refrain
5 O come, O Key of David, come
and open wide our heavenly home.
Make safe for us the heavenward road
and bar the way to death's abode. Refrain
6 O come, O Bright and Morning Star,
and bring us comfort from afar!
Dispel the shadows of the night
and turn our darkness into light. Refrain
7 O come, O King of nations, bind
in one the hearts of all mankind.
Bid all our sad divisions cease
and be yourself our King of Peace. Refrain
Psalter Hymnal (Gray)

Go Tell It on a Mountain
06:26
|
|||
|
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a Holy light
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And brought us all salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
That Jesus Christ is born

all i want for christmas
is to free all political prisoners
all i want for christmas
is freedom and equality
equality and human dignity
all i want is justice
goddamn the oppressors
i want their mansions to burn
from the acid rain of freedom
all i want for christmas
is nothing less and nothing more
than the whole goddamned world
all i want for christmas
is bread and wine and roses
and some cash and maybe even weed
i just want to be free
for christmas i want to lose my chains
i have nothing else left to lose
and for my people to rule
with the iron fist of the great proletarian dictatorship
mao is my santa claus
lenin is my jesus
let's celebrate his birth
with the greatest saturnalia ever
and let yule the demon burn all prisons down
the empire has fallen
merry christmas
war is over

Xmas Mrcl (Remix)
03:51
|

Pour me another glass of Christmas spirit
I'm near and dear to it
On a mistletoe trip
Chanukkah candles like to drip drip
Quick pour me another
Oh life, my family and oh brother
A trip around the sun
Isn't this a fun one?
I'm glad it'll soon be over
I can't get through it sober
I miss the hallow of October
And a whining roll over rover
I'm a dog in a waste of good air
The mange is making me lose hair
I've never caught a rabbit and I don't have a pointed ear
And there goes another year
Another trip around the sun
Another retail holiday fun
A consumer wasteland fueled by the belief
That things cost much but life is cheap

We've Already Gone
09:07

Finally he is come
He tells us he’s the only one
He came not for peace
But for a sword
To keep us from the salivating horde
Rejoice rejoice you have not choice
I’ve done for what I’ve come
I’ve already gone
And freed you
The people were shocked
Was the king really dead
Had rock of ages their world really rocked
They shifted their eyes suspicious of each other
Until a voice broke out above the others
The smallest child was the first to speak
And speak out of turn
And bless the good deed
And bite at the hand
That beat her
Then the news came down
The king was indeed dead
You will all know the cost of freedom
Then a panic broke out
A screech and the streets
And someone was glad to meet you
The speech in the streets
The sound so crisp and sweet
A woman was singing the anthem
And the crowd joined in
Celebration began and there was no longer need for a savior
Rejoice rejoice we have no choice
We’ve done for what we’ve come
We’ve already gone and freed us

Hymn to the Virgin
04:44
|

|
Hymn to the Virgin by Sir Walter Scott. From the epic poem The Lady of the Lake.
Ave Maria! maiden mild!
Listen to a maiden’s prayer!
Thou canst hear though from the wild;
Thou canst save amid despair.
Safe may we sleep beneath thy care,
Though banish’d, outcast and reviled –
Maiden! hear a maiden’s prayer;
Mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria
Ave Maria! undefiled!
The flinty couch we now must share
Shall seem this down of eider piled,
If thy protection hover there.
The murky cavern’s heavy air
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled;
Then, Maiden! hear a maiden’s prayer,
Mother, list a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!
Ave Maria! stainless styled.
Foul demons of the earth and air,
From this their wonted haunt exiled,
Shall flee before thy presence fair.
We bow us to our lot of care,
Beneath thy guidance reconciled;
Hear for a maid a maiden’s prayer,
And for a father hear a child!
Ave Maria.

The Glorious Shocking Rochester, New York
White light contains twelve rays, only seven of which are revealed, just
as the musical octave contains twelve notes only seven of which are
articulated. Likewise, the passions are twelve, but seven are expressed.
