Parents,

We are SO excited about our 2023 Kids Christmas program! The joy your kids bring to church and Christmas is a powerful combination. This year, we are doing two songs and several speaking parts. 

Our Sunday school teachers will be working on teaching the songs and motions to your kids on Sunday mornings, but please listen to the songs with your kids at home so they are comfortable singing along (loudly!) to the music!

Key Dates:

  • December 12th - Practice at the church at 6:00 p.m.
  • December 17th - Kid's Christmas Program at Restoration Church at 10 a.m!
    • Please arrive by 8:45 so we can do another run-through at 9a. 

Thank you for your help in making our Kid's Christmas Program a success!

Verse 2
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boyDo you hear what I hear?(Do you hear what I hear?)Ringing through the sky, shepherd boyDo you hear what I hear?(Do you hear what I hear?)
A song, a song high above the treesWith a voice as big as the seaWith a voice as big as the sea

Verse 3
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty kingDo you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)In your palace warm, mighty kingDo you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)
A Child, a Child shivers in the coldLet us bring him silver and goldLet us bring him silver and gold

It's Christmas

Verse 1
Away in a manger, no crib for a bedThe little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet headThe stars in the sky looked down where He layThe little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

Verse 2
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakesBut little Lord Jesus, no crying He makesI love thee Lord Jesus, look down from the skyAnd stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh

Chorus
It's ChristmasThe angels are singingAnd I know the reasonThe Savior is bornIt's ChristmasThe bells are ringingAnd I feel like shoutingJoy to the world

 

Verse 3
Be near me, Lord Jesus I ask thee to stayClose by me forever and love me I prayAnd bless all the dear children in thy tender careAnd fit us for heaven to live with thee there

Chorus
It's ChristmasThe angels are singingAnd I know the reasonThe Savior is bornYes, it's ChristmasThe bells are ringingAnd I feel like shoutingJoy to the world

Bridge
Go tell it on the mountainOver the hills and everywhereGo tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born 

Chorus 
It's ChristmasThe angels are singingAnd I know the reasonThe Savior is bornYes, it's ChristmasThe bells are ringingAnd I feel like shoutingJoy to the worldJoy to the worldOh, joy to the world
