Santa Claus departs from
The North Pole
He only visits poor families
On the dole

If you look outside
And search the skies so quick
You may see
Jolly St. Nick

The elves make toys
Without delay
They toil all night
And all-day

Santa will land
On our roofs
He comes down the chimney
Hear his reindeers’ hooves

On Christmas morning
Kids will open their gifts
Outside are tall
Snow drifts

Santa’s work
Is finally done
Now he can relax
And have some fun

I thank God
For His sovereign grace
Christ died
For the human race

Due to Adam’s fall
We fell into sin
But Christ was
A mighty propitiation

He came to earth
One frosty morn
Oh glorious day
When Christ was born

At Calvary
He took on God’s wrath
Christ bled for us
That was His path

On the third day
He rose
We celebrate this event
With song and prose

Jesus made salvation possible
For the sons of earth
The Holy Spirit quickens our soul
This is the new birth

Let all creation proclaim
Christ is King
The angels are praising Him
May all of Christendom sing

We’re in a winter wonderland
To God, we make a petition
It’s our
Yuletide tradition

My sister Vi and I
Travel in our sleigh
We’re overjoyed
And very gay

We’re nice and cozy
With a blanket on our laps
We just passed by
Two good chaps

Our horses take us
All the way to Gramma’s house
I’m wearing my dress clothes
Vi has on a skirt and blouse

At Gramma’s house
We eat good Christmas food happily
We’re stuffed completely
Baked ham, pierogi, and halushki

We return back to our abode
In our sleigh
Pulled by our two white horses
We shall be home without delay

We dream in our beds
Of Christmas stories
Snoring away contently
We see gourmet pastries

I awoke
To a landscape of white
It snowed
All day and night

A winter wonderland
Was before my eyes
The snow seemed
To reach the skies

With my trusty snow shoes
I set out on a trek
I heard a woodpecker
On the oak tree, it did peck

Bitter cold air
Stung my lung
I felt alive
Caught a snowflake on my tongue

The snow shimmered
Under morning light
It was a dazzling display
Quite the sight

A white Christmas
We had this year
I love this season
Of peace and good cheer

It’s raining today
I am depressed
Full of dismay
I won’t get dressed

I feel glum
I’m down in the dumps
I’ll chat with Vi my chum
I’ll have to take my lumps

I hate being blue
I have no energy
Bad thoughts I eschew
I’m full of lethargy

I wish to run and play
I’m stuck here in bed
I want to be gay
I’m totally lethargic instead

Behold
The King of the Jews
I proclaim the Gospel
It is Good News

Man was mired in sin
He needed to be reconciled
To an all-holy and all-righteous God
He needed a Savior undefiled

Christ was born
Of a virgin so pure
His path
Was sure

He would save mankind
By sovereign grace alone
Of all the people
Only Christ could atone

At Calvary
He paid the price
Christ was not guilty
Of any vice

On the third day
He rose
Christ was resurrected
His divinity shows

We are born into sin
But Christ was
Our propitiation

He was our sinless
Sacrifice
Our Lord so gracious

We have a mighty Redeemer
Christ the Messiah
He sent us the Comforter

We are regenerated
Before we have the gift of faith
Our souls are quickened

We become a new creation
We are spiritually alive
This is a reason for elation

We must grow in sanctification
Mortifying the flesh each day
We will do it until glorification

Oh glorious victory
Which Christ has won
Our precious Redeemer
God’s Son

He paid the price
For all our sin
He was our dear
Propitiation

At Calvary
Christ hung
He was only 33
Years young

He descended into hell
Christ set the captives free
He can do the same
For you and me

The grave couldn’t hold Him
On the third day, Christ rose
No longer
Did He lay in repose

Christ is alive
Let the angels sing
He alone
Is our King
