  It looks like a dirty song to me as I never knew it had the words

  And soon Miss Fanny Bright
  Was seated by my side

  She was one clean woman though.

  Sorry for lowering the tone but I am processing some orders and I am getting bored.

  Haven't heard Carolers belting this one out but I sure like this christmas song

  You better watch out, You better not cry, You better not pout I'm telling you why,

  Santa Clause is coming to town.

  As for the Kingdom Melodies, I can/could only call up to mind some spattered verses of a a few songs. Having someone like me do audio beyond the mics for the congregation was funny. I messed up the songs a few times at the old congregation that still used the music on tapes.

  Here are the first verses to two carols:

  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.

  In the bleak mid-winter, Frosty wind made moan, Earth was hard as iron, Water like a stone, Snow had fallen sono on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak mid-winter, Long Ago.

  No problem with the Carols at all.

  But due to the fact that I am singing most in Dutch - I will not put them here.

  This is one of my favourite songs and hynms. We also played this in an interlude at our wedding in August 2001.

  A ve Maria The Ave Maria was composed in about 1825 by Franz Schubert (1797-1828) when he was twenty-eight years old and filled with devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was written for voice and piano and first Published in 1826 as Op 52 no 6. The words most commonly used with Schubert's music are not the words that the composer originally set to music. Franz Schubert actually wrote the music for an excerpt from the poem "The Lady of the Lake" by Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), which was translated into German by Adam Storck. Schubert called his piece Ellens dritter Gesang (Ellen's third song). In this particular excerpt from the poem the heroine, Ellen Douglas, is in hiding and prays to the Virgin Mary. A letter from Schubert to his father and step-mother refers to his music to Ave Maria: "My new songs from Scott's Lady of the Lake especially had much success. They also wondered greatly at my piety, which I expressed in a hymn to the Holy Virgin and which, it appears, grips every soul and turns it to devotion." The original words by Sir Walter Scott are detailed below and include many references to the Latin "Ave Maria" prayer. This, no doubt, inspired an unknown person to fit the Latin "Ave Maria" prayer text to Schubert's notes, and it almost succeeds with a couple of exceptions. The adapted Latin words of Ave Maria prayer ( Hail Mary ) is now the version most commonly performed with the music of Schubert. Ave Maria Prayer : The Latin text of the Ave Maria prayer set to the music by Franz Schubert Ave Maria Gratia plena Maria Gratia plena Maria Gratia plena Ave, ave dominus Dominus tecum Benedicta tu in mulieribus Et benedictus Et benedictus fructus ventris Ventris tui Jesus Ave Maria Ave Maria Mater dei Ora pro nobis pecatoribus Ora, ora pro nobis Ora ora pro nobis pecatoribus Nunc et in hora mortis In hora mortis, mortis nostrae In hora mortis nostrae Ave Maria! Ave Maria Prayer : The Latin text of the Ave Maria prayer set to the music by Franz Schubert Ave Maria German translation by Adam Storck from "The Lady of the Lake" by Sir Walter Scott Ave Maria! Ave Maria! maiden mild! Listen to a maiden's prayer! Thou canst hear though from the wild, Thou canst save amid despair. Safe may we sleep beneath thy care, Though banish'd, outcast and reviled - Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer; Mother, hear a suppliant child! Ave Maria! Ave Maria! undefiled! The flinty couch we now must share Shall seem this down of eider piled, If thy protection hover there. The murky cavern's heavy air Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled; Then, Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer; Mother, list a suppliant child! Ave Maria! Ave Maria! stainless styled! Foul demons of the earth and air, From this their wonted haunt exiled, Shall flee before thy presence fair. We bow us to our lot of care, Beneath thy guidance reconciled; Hear for a maid a maiden's prayer, And for a father hear a child! Ave Maria!

  Hark! The Herald Angels sing

  Glory to the New Born King

  Peace on Earth, and mercy mild

  God and sinners reconciled

  Joyful all ye nations rise

  Join the triumph of the skies

  With angelic hosts proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem

  Hark! The Herald Angels sing, glory to the New Born King
