Parents,
We are SO excited about our 2022 Kids Christmas program! The joy your kids bring to church and Christmas is a powerful combination. This year, we are doing a Little Drummer Boy Christmas theme, singing three songs, and a couple of 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 13th - Practice at the church at 6:00 p.m.
- December 18th - Kid's Christmas Program at Restoration Church!
Thank you for your help in making our Kid's Christmas Program a success!
Away in a Manger
Verse 1
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
Verse 2
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh
Verse 3
Be near me, Lord Jesus I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
And bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there
Joy to the World
Verse 1
Joy to the world, the Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing
Verse 2
Joy to the world the savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
Verse 3
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness
And wonders of his love
And wonders of his love
And wonders, and wonders of his love.
Little Drummer Boy
Verse 1
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A newborn King to see, pa rum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum
When we come
Verse 2
Little baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum?
Verse 3
Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum
