The Night of Nativity

(Quatrain)

On the night of Nativity

Of the Lord`s Only Divine Son

Let`s in the depth of piety

Chant hymns of His Sublime Son;

On the night of Nativity

Let bells chime atop all churches

With rings of creativity

And no-one be left in the lurch;

On the night of Nativity

Let love and peace extend afar

With a white sign of purity

Like the bright shining Northern Star;

On the night of Nativity

Let`s all thank the Graceful Lord

And span faith in the Trinity

To the best we can afford.

On this night of nativity

Let` s mark it as a divine night

When shining stars of sanctity

Blazed the sky with its sublime light.

The Nativity

Constanza

We greeted the Nativity

To honour birth of the Lord`s Son

During a cold winter season

With a deep sense of piety

When all the world was in delight

At the Messiah`s divine sight,

When stars of creativity

Were shining bright at midst of night

As tokens of His Son`s birthright

And shepherds flocked to to the Mighty

To greet the only son of God

To the full best they could afford

With white wreaths of sincerity

To thank the Lord for the Shepherd

To lead followers to the shed;

We greeted the Nativity

With a deep sense of piety

When stars of creativity

And shepherds flocked to the Mighty

With white wreaths of sincerity.

Faith in Nativity

(Terzanelle)

Let our faith in Nativity

Shine like the distant Northern Star

On this day of purity;

Let it brighten our soul afar

And with faith in God`s Only Son

Shine like the distant Northern Star;

Let love and grace greet this Season

With bursts of divine compassion

And with faith in God`s Only Son.

Let there be faith and fair reasons

To extend care to those in need

With bursts of divine compassion.

Let faith bless every heart, indeed,

On birthday of the Son of God

To extend care to those in need.

On Christmas day let`s thank the Lord

For assigning the Messiah

On birthday of the Son of God

As His shepherds` divine Saviour.

God`s Only Son

(Terzanelle)

In the night of Nativity

Lets all honour Gods Only Son

With pleas of pristine piety;

During a cold wintry season

With stars shining bright at midnight

Let us all honour God`s Only Son;

With hearts overwhelmed with delight

Let us all hail the Messiah

With stars shining bright at midnight;

Let`s greet the sublime Saviour

And His prime Bethlehem birthright,

Let us all hail the Messiah;

Lets cherish His Sons unique site

In His sacred lovely manger

At His prime Bethlehem birthright;

Let`s chime hymns of Virgin Mother,

God`s Only Son and the Father

In the night of Nativity

With pleas of pristine purity.

On Christmas Day

(Quatrain)

On Christmas day and everyday

Let`s rejoice in festivity,

Yet tread along our way

With a deep sense of piety;

On Christmas day and everyday

Let`s thank His Son and the Lord

For giving us a meal a day

And taking our sorrows on board;

On Christmas day and everyday

Let`s clean our mind from evil thoughts

For one and all along our sway

And banish ill-feelings to nought;

On Christmas day and everyday

Let`s harbor love for one and all;

And utter a positive say

In wintry days or in the Fall;

In Christmas day and everyday

Let`s sow seeds of good will to man,

Hail with peace as we should and may

Whether deadly foes or all friends;

On Christmas day and everyday

Let`s from life dispel dull despair

And fill our souls with hopeful rays

As from our life we can just repair;

On Christmas day and every day

Let us fan the flame of faith and trust

And not in distress stray away

From divinity as we must;

On Christmas day and every day

Let`s wrongs borne forget and forgive

Let go of pains our life to sway

Even if we have been aggrieved;

On Christmas day and everyday

Let`s bless all our enemies and foes

As His Only Son did that day

When nailed on cross from head to foes;

On Christmas day and everyday

Let us gather in unity

And make brother hood a mainstay

On this day of solemnity;

On Christmas day and everyday

Let us chant His glorious hymns

And our gratitude display

For His Grace over space and time.

The Spirit of Christmas Season

(Quatern)

With the coming Christmas Season

That hails birth of His Unique Son

Let there be no flimsy reason

For dearth of real compassion.

Let hearts of compassionate souls.

With the coming Christmas Season,

Melt with caring love as a whole

For those a meal cannot fashion.

A humble gift is no treason

To offer to those in need

With the coming Christmas Season,

But is a noble deed, indeed.

Let us all serve as instruments

Of love, grace, care and compassion

The Divine Grace to implement

With the coming Christmas Season.

Christmas Spirit

(Quatrain)

Let`s hail the Christmas Spirit

That love for all men do cherish

That care for the needy relish

And peace for the whole world cherish;

Let the wind of Christmas spirit

Blow throughout this divine season

Melt the heart of all man with peace

For their love and care to adorn;

Let us be the Lord`s divine agents

To endear the Christmas spirit

The divine Grace to implement

And His compassion to accomplish;

As agents of compassion

And Spirit of Christmas season

Let`s extend to those in dire needs

Care and a helping hand, indeed;

With a wave of Christmas spirit

Let`s spread His words of Unity

Chime His words of fraternity

In line with the Lord`s divine wish;

Let showers of Christmas spirit

Usher peace for the world and man

At sea, in space or on the land

Without burning beams of blemish;

Let the sun of Christmas spirit

Shine on and on without remit

On Christmas day and everyday

In a glittering divine way.

Nativity in Piety

(Constanza)

We honoured the Nativity

To hail birth of His Unique Son

During a cold snow-capped season,

During a night of piety

When all the world was in delight

At the Messiah`s divine sight,

When stars of creativity

Were shining bright at midst of night

As tokens of their own birthright

As shepherds flocked to the Mighty

To laud the Sublime Son of God

To the best they could afford

With wreaths of sincerity

To thank the Lord for the Shepherd

Who would lead them to rightful shed.

We honoured the Nativity

During a night of piety

When stars of creativity

And shepherds flocked to the Mighty

With wreaths of sincerity.

The Bells of Nativity

(Quatrain)

On this night of Nativity

Of the Lord`s Only Divine Son

Let bells of creativity

Chime to the tune of the season;

On this night of Nativity

Let bells ting atop all churches

And with clinks of deep unity

Let no man be left in the lurch;

On this night of Nativity

Let bells ting to spread love afar

From the crest of the Trinity

To brighten man`s life like a star.

On this night of Nativity

Let bells tinkle to convey peace

With the white shine of purity

That man may experience His bliss;

On this night of Nativity

Let bells rhyme the Words of the Lord

For the gem of fraternity

To the deepest one can afford;

On this day of Nativity

Let us mark it as Christmas day

With jingle bells of piety

The Twenty-Fifth December Day.

Christmas Hymn

(Quatrain)

Let`s sing His hymns, His hymns, his divine hymns

Over time, over time, Over the divine time

Let`s chime His bell, His bell, His divine bell

Let Him foretell, foretell a divine tale

Let`s chant His name, His name, His divine name

Let`s hum his fame, His fame, His divine fame

Let`s greet the season, the divine season

Let`s hail His Son, His Son, His Divine Son

Let`s eye His manger, His divine manger

Let`s pray the Mother, the Virgin Mother

Let`s thank the Father, the divine Father

Let`s hail the Saviour, the divine Saviour

Let`s share His bliss, His bliss, His divine bliss

Let there be peace, the peace, the divine peace

Let`s chant His grace, His grace, the divine grace

Let`s love His birthplace, His divine birthplace

Let`s earn His love, His love, His divine love

Let`s like His dove, His dove, His divine dove

Let`s share His wine, His Wine, His divine wine

Let`s like his shrine, His shrine, His divine shrine
