CAROLS SONG BOOK

PAGEANT AT HOME

I came from the dream-time From the dusty red-soil plains I am the ancient heart The keeper of the flame I stood upon the rocky shores I watched the tall ships come For forty thousand years I’ve been The first Australian

I came upon the prison shipBowed down by iron chainsI fought the land, endured the lashAnd waited for the rainsI’m a settler, I’m a farmer’s wifeOn a dry and barren runA convict, then a free manI became AustralianWe are one, but we are many And from all the lands on earth we come We’ll share a dream and sing with one voice I am, you are, we are Australian

I’m the daughter of a digger Who sought the mother lode The girl became a woman On the long and dusty road I’m a child of the Depression I saw the good times come I’m a bushie, I’m a battler I am Australian

We are one, but we are many And from all the lands on earth we come We’ll share a dream and sing with one voice I am, you are, we are Australian

I’m a teller of stories I’m a singer of songs I am Albert Namatjira And I paint the ghostly gums I’m Clancy on his horse I’m Ned Kelly on the run I’m the one who waltzed Matilda I am Australian

I’m the hot wind from the desertI’m the black soil of the plainsI’m the mountains and the valleysI’m the drought and flooding rainsI am the rock, I am the skyThe rivers when they runThe spirit of this great landI am Australian

We are one, but we are manyAnd from all the lands on earth we comeWe’ll share a dream and sing with one voice“I am, you are, we are Australian”

We are one, but we are manyAnd from all the lands on earth we comeWe’ll share a dream and sing with one voice“I am, you are, we are Australian”

“I am, you are, we are Australian”

I AM AUSTRALIANELLIE LOVEGROVE

It’s beginning to look a lot like ChristmasEverywhere you goTake a look in the Five & TenGlistening once againWith candy canes and silver lanes aglow

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Toys in every store But the prettiest sight to see Is the holly that will be on your own front door

A pair of Hop-a-long boots and a trumpet that toots Is the wish of Barney and Ben Dolls that will talk and will go for a walkIs the hope of Janice and JenAnd Mum and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

It’s beginning to look a lot like ChristmasEverywhere you goThere’s a tree in the Grand HotelOne in the park as wellThe sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow

It’s beginning to look a lot like ChristmasSoon the bells will start And the thing that will make them ringIs the carol that you singRight within your heart

It’s beginning to look a lot like ChristmasEverywhere you goIt’s beginning to look a lot like ChristmasSoon the bells will start And the thing that will make them ringIs the carol that you singRight within your heart

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS NAVA REVALK

Silent night, holy nightShepherds quake at the sightGlories streams from heaven afarHeavenly hosts sing, alleluiaChrist the saviour is bornChrist the saviour is born

Silent night, holy night!Son of God love’s pure light.Radiant beams from Thy holy faceWith dawn of redeeming grace,Jesus Lord, at Thy birthJesus Lord, at Thy birth

SILENT NIGHT ELLIE LOVEGROVE

The weather outside is frightfulBut the fire is so delightfulSince we’ve no place to goLet it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn’t show signs of stoppingAnd I brought some corn for poppingThe lights are turned way down lowLet it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnightHow I hate going out in the stormBut if you really hold me tightAll the way home I’ll be warm

The fire is slowly dyingAnd, my dear, we’re still goodbyin’As long as you love me soLet it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnightHow I hate going out in the stormBut if you really hold me tightAll the way home I’ll be warm

The fire is slowly dyingAnd, my dear, we’re still goodbyin’As long as you love me soLet it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

LET IT SNOW G-NAT!ON
