The Angel Gabriel from Heaven Came
The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
"All hail," said he, "thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favoured lady," Gloria!
"For know a blessed Mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honour thee,
Thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,
Most highly favoured lady," Gloria!
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head,
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said,
"My soul shall laud and magnify his holy Name." Most highly favoured lady, Gloria!
Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say, "Most highly favoured lady," Gloria​​
Little Donkey
Little donkey, little donkey on a dusty road.
Got to keep on plodding onwards with the precious load.
Been a long time little donkey thro' the winter's night. Don't give up now little donkey Bethlehem's in sight.
Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem.
Follow the star tonight,
Bethlehem, Bethlehem.
Little donkey, little donkey had a heavy day.
Little donkey carry Mary, safely on her way.
Little donkey, little donkey, journey's end is near. There are wisemen waiting for a sign to bring them here.
Do not falter, little donkey there's a star ahead. It will guide you, little donkey to a cattle shed.
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.
Little donkey, little donkey, had a heavy day. Little donkey carry Mary safely on her way.

Mary, Did You Know?
Mary, did you know,
That your baby boy
Will one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know,
That your baby boy
Will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know,
That your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know,
That your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know,
That your baby boy
Will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know,
That your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss_your little baby, you've kissed the face of God.
Oh Mary, did you know?
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Oh Mary, did you know?
Ooh ooh, Did you know?
Did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb________
