Joy to the World Junior School Band and Combined Choirs
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 Saviour reigns. Let us our songs employ, While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth and grace. And makes the nations prove, The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, and wonders, of His love.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Petite Chorale
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say “Rudolph, with your nose so bright Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer You’ll go down in history” (Repeat).

Summer Wonderland Community Choir
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
Sunburn sting, ice blocks glistening
The beautiful sight
Of barbies alight
Strolling through a summer wonderland
Pour the Sav in the sunshine
Serve the pav up at lunchtime
Pop the bubbles for Nan, Pineapples on ham
Strolling through a summer wonderland
In the arvo we can grab the wickets
And plastic cricket bat your brother found Backyard full of all your distant rellies
So we pass the can of mozzie spray around
Later on, sun is falling
And your old uncle’s snoring
We’ll hear the birds in the trees
Feel the warm breeze
Strolling through a summer wonderland
Music Interlude Dance
In the arvo we can grab the wickets
And plastic cricket bat your brother found Backyard full of all your distant rellies
So we pass the can of mozzie spray around
Way down here, Christmas landmarks
Are summer flowers and funny tan marks
We’re happy and bright
Not a snowman in sight
Strolling through a summer wonderland (x3)

Away in a Manger
Deci-belles Choir
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head. The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing
The Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes.
I love You, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky
And stay by my side Until morning is nigh.
Once in Royal David’s City Deci-belles
Choir
Once in Royal David’s city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her Baby In a manger for His bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child.
He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall; With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love; For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above, And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone.
