This earth on which we stand
And we praise the god who holds it
In the hollow of His hand
Chorus
So Father we would thank you
For all that you have done
And for all that you have given us
Through the coming of your son.
A candle burning brightly
Can cheer the darkest night
And these candles tell how Jesus
Came to bring a dark world light
Chorus
The ribbon round the orange
Reminds us of the cost
How the shepherd strong and gentle
Gave HIS life to save the lost
chorus
Four seasons with their harvest
Supply the food we need
And the spirit gives a harvest
That can make us rich indeed
chorus
We come with our CHRISTINGLES
To tell of JESUS birth
And we praise the god who Blessed us
By his coming to this earth
chorus
To the tune of "the holly and the ivy"
With thanks to Kathleen for supplying the words
