2. I Wonder As I Wander Play
I Wonder As I Wander

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How jesus, the savior, did come for to die
For poor on'ry people, like you and like I.
I wonder as I wander out under the sky.

When Mary birthed Jesus, t'was in a cow's stall
With wisemen and farmers and shepherds and all,
But high in God's heaven a star's light did fall,
And the promise of ages, it then did recall.

If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing -
A star in the sky or a bird on the wing,
Or all of God's angels in heaven to sing -
He surely could have it, 'cause he was the king!

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus, the savior, did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I.
I wonder as I wander out under the sky.

3. What Child Is This? Play
What Child Is This?

What Child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?

Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.

This, this is Christ the king,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary.

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king to own Him;
The king of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The babe, the Son of Mary.

Raise, raise a song on high.
The virgin sings her lullaby;
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
The babe, the son of Mary.

4. God Rest Ye Merry, Gentle... Play
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentle...

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 have 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.

Lyrics
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentle...

5. Walking In the Air Play
Walking In the Air

We're walking in the air.
We're floating in the moonlit sky.
The people far below are sleeping as we fly.

We're holding very tight.
I'm riding in the midnight blue.
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you.

Children gaze, open mouthed,
Taken by surprise.
Nobody down below believes their eyes.

Far across the world,
The villages go by like dreams -
The rivers and the hills,
The forests and the streams.

We're surfing in the air.
We're swimming in the frozen sky.
We're drifting over icy mountains floating by.

Suddenly, swooping low, on an ocean deep,
'Rousing of a mighty monster from its sleep.

We're walking in the air.
We're dancing in the midnight sky,
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly.

6. Silent Night Play
Silent Night

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child,
Holy Infant so tender and mild.
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar.
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born.
Christ, the Saviour is born.

Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace.
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

The holiday season is filled with a special kind of magic: trees glisten with freshly fallen snow, families are reunited for the traditions of gift-giving and mealtime stories, and age-old carols imbue the air.  But how often do we have the chance to steep our thoughts in solitude?

Through Sand and Snow brings the listener on a nighttime journey through the aura of mystery and awe that Christmas so quietly inspires in our hearts.  A vast nature surrounds us in these colder months, longing to be explored...  Sometimes, it is only after we have that our own homes feel even warmer.
