Oh Christmas Wreath Glory you bore Hanging Upon My Neighbors Front Door Looking So Green and Pure Made by the Craftsman’s Own Hands Oh He Picked the Best Evergreen Tree And Braided the Boughs into a Wreath. He Dressed it with Bells and Ribbons of Greens And Holly Berries So Tender and Sweet Oh Christmas Wreath Your Season is Here Your Message is Hope It’s ringing so Clear Dusted with Snow Frosty and White Sparking With The Warm Christmas Lights Oh I’ve Never Seen a More Perfect Wreath The Neighborhood Song of Hope Sweetly Rings Throughout the Homes and Underneath Cherubim Flying with Beautiful Wings

Wood hath hope When it’s cut, it grows green again And its boughs sprout clean again Wood hath hope Root and stock Although old and withered up And all sunk in earth corrupt Will revive Leaves return Water pure brings life to them And the tree lives young again Wood hath hope But for flesh waits death To strip the soul And breathe life out, behold All things end Mortal life’s like a Dried up river bead We sleep, lay down our heads To rise no more But, ah strange thought If a man could rise again Called home to a loving land He would have hope We would have hope Like a tree, we’d grow green again And our boughs sprout clean again We would have hope

On the bleak midwinter days When holy nights are far away And I can’t understand the advent of the sun of man When yet another snow falls I remember what I saw Pushing up from the snow almost a year ago The year’s first flower Snowy bell hanging over They say it’s called a snowdrop And all through the winter It waits for a splinter Of light to pierce the dark and then it returns - Up from the cold earth January brings a chill February can kill I don’t know how that sweet bulb grows With December’s hope

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 their silent flocks night Behold throughout the heavens There shone a holy light... The shepherds feared and trembled When lo! Above the Earth Rang out the angel chorus That hailed our Savior's birth Down in a lowly manger Our humble Christ was born And God sent us salvation That blessed Christmas morn

The dusk before Christmas The sun disappears A family of hedgehogs Wakes full of cheer Our nocturnal friends Rise late with a huff In their jammies with pockets Give their stockings a snuff Celebrate in the dark Without those colored lights For heavenly peace came On one silent night Find somewhere warm That's safe dark and warm Merriment and singing When others would sleep When the sun finally rises Cuddle up with their quills To stay close together And ward off the chill Celebrate in the dark Without those colored lights For heavenly peace came On one silent night

His hair’s matted down from the rain storm last night His horns are as sharp as a jaguar’s bite He looks out to the hills and then he just thinks “Why did I eat that one Christmas wreath? Oh why did I eat all those colorful lights? They went down so easy, they tasted so nice, But now I am thinking it was a mistake. I need to learn not to take take take take.” But what is a goat to do When he is just feeling blue And how is a goat to choose A life where he doesn’t eat Every last Christmas wreath Every last Christmas wreath I’ve seen him come down his hill for some lunch Or earlier for a mid-morning brunch His stomachs are selfish and always so vacant His attitudes cold, he seems so un-shaken – OH My yard is a mess, where are all my lights? I worked oh so hard. They looked oh so nice. But now they are gone, now they are eaten. My Christmas spirit is beaten But what is a goat to do When he is just feeling blue And how is a goat to choose A life where he doesn’t eat Every last Christmas wreath Every last Christmas wreath But I think there’s hope in this world for a goat Yes I think there’s hope in this world for a goat We all know there is hope in this world for a goat Let’s believe there is hope in this world for a goat Hope does not put us to shame Hope is where we stake our claim Hope does not put us to shame On this Christmas Day Yes I know there’s hope in this world for a goat Yes indeed there is hope in this world for a goat
