Here’s a Little Candle
(Tune: I’m a Little Teapot)
Here’s a little candle dressed in white,
Wearing a hat of yellow light.
When the night is dark, then you will see
Just how bright this light can be.
Here’s a little candle straight and tall,
Shining its light upon us all.
When the night is dark, then you will see
Just how bright this light can be.
Here’s a little candle burning bright.
Keeping us safe all through the night.
When the night is dark, then you will see
Just how bright this light can be!
The First Christmas
Author Unknown
Clop, clop, clop went the donkey’s feet,
Clop, clop, clop down the stony street.
Nod, nod, nod went Mary’s head.
She was tired, and she needed a bed.
Knock, knock, knock went Joseph at the door.
“Do you have room for anyone more?”
“No, no, no!” the innkeeper said,
“I don’t even have one more bed.”
“Wait, wait, wait,” the innkeeper said,
“You can use my stable for a bed.”
“Shh, shh, shh . . .What is that I hear?
The cry of Baby Jesus, oh so dear!”
