S            Santa’s got my note in hand

H           Hope he remembers Spiderman

I            But I hope you guys understand

N           It’s not Santa, Jesus is the reason

E           For this happy Christmas season

K & Grade 1:

H            Happy birthday, baby Jesus

A            Angel’s voices all around.

P             Purest love this night came down.

P             Placed among the fragrant hay

Y            You are born, our King today!

B            Bethlehem, the town asleep.

I             In a stable, with the sheep.

R            Roughest lumber for your manger,

T            The star above to guide the strangers.

H            Happy Mary, Joseph proud, watching o’er the little boy.

D            Down below the shepherds wake, listen to the songs of joy.

A            Angels bathed in glorious light,

Y            You are born, the King, tonight.

J            Jesus came from heaven on high

E            Every angel in the sky

S            Sang to him their lullaby

U           Until kings and shepherds came

S            Saviour is the baby’s name.
