December Nights

God rest ye merry, gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember, Christ, our Saviour Was born on Christmas day To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy From God our Heavenly Father A blessed Angel came; And unto certain Shepherds Brought tidings of the same: How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by Name. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy "Fear not then," said the Angel, "Let nothing you affright, This day is born a Saviour Of a pure Virgin bright, To free all those who trust in Him From Satan's power and might." O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace; This holy tide of Christmas All other doth deface. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy God rest ye merry gentlemen O tidings of comfort and joy

Greensleeves 03:37
Alas, my love, you do me wrong, To cast me off discourteously. For I have loved you well and long, Delighting in your company. Chorus: Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. I have been ready at your hand, To grant whatever you would crave, I have both wagered life and land, Your love and good-will for to have. (Chorus) Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu, To God I pray to prosper thee, For I am still thy lover true, Come once again and love me. (Chorus)

O come, O come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan's tyranny From depths of Hell Thy people save And give them victory o'er the grave Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death's dark shadows put to flight. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel.

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, long ago. Our God, heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain; Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign. In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. Angels and archangels may have gathered there, Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air; But His mother only, in her maiden bliss, Worshipped the beloved with a kiss. What can I give Him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part; Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart. In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

The falling of the snow the stillness of the air on December nights they will always remind me of you the feeling hasn't died it is always inside us just buried in snow Chorus: I wanna be with you on Christmas Eve I wanna decorate our little tree December nights are so long I wanna sing Christmas songs with you and I wanna be with you on Christmas Eve The frost upon the windows the glistening of snowflakes on December nights they will always remind me of you how we never made the time for the spirit to find us we just stayed awake (Chorus) Are you still awake like I? Looking at the snow outside? Every day we lost some light I hope you're staying warm tonight Now the sky is getting bright with glowing rays of morning light the moon is fading out of sight so I bid the night goodbye I wanna be with you on cold December nights

about

Merry Christmas! This year, we’ve recorded another four traditional Christmas songs with new arrangements, plus our own original song “December Nights”! We took a break from our recent electronic stylings and focussed on playing real drums, guitars, bass, keyboards and layering up some lush harmonies. We hope you enjoy it, and have a great holiday season!
