Bumpy journey
We’re on a bumpy journey and we’re leaving
early,
Off to Bethlehem and so far away.
We’ll take it nice and steady, ‘cause our bags
are heavy,
And the baby could be born any day! Repeat
Got to get a-moving ‘cause we’re going on a
journey ,
That’ll take us many miles and many ways
Gonna have to hurry ‘cause we’re going on a
donkey
And the baby’s getting bigger every day!
Got to get a-moving ‘cause we’re going on a
journey,
That’ll take us many miles and many ways
Gonna have to hurry ‘cause we’re going on a
donkey
And the baby’s getting bigger every day!
We’re on a bumpy journey, going very slowly
With so far to go and nowhere to stay.
We’re feeling tired and hungry ‘cause we’ve
come a long way,
And the baby could be born any day!
The baby could be born any day!
We’re on a bumpy journey, going very slowly
With so far to go and nowhere to stay.
We’re feeling tired and hungry ‘cause we’ve
come a long way,
And the baby could be born any day!

Away in a manger
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.
Off we go!
Off we go, let’s run to Bethlehem,
We have heard good news for everyone!
Off we go, we’re running all the way,
Christ the Lord is born for us today!
Angels came to us tonight,
What a wonder, what a sight!
Off we go, let’s skip…
Off we go, let’s dance…
Angels came to us tonight,
What a wonder, what a sight!
Off we go, let’s run to Bethlehem,
We have heard good news for everyone!
Wise men three
Wise men three, clever are we,
Studied in astronomy!
Saw this star, in the East,
Didn’t know where it would lead us.
Wise men three, all agree,
Here’s a great discovery!
Tell us please, where can we
Find the baby king Jesus?

Silent night,
Holy night,
All is calm,
All is bright.
Round yon Virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild.
