G'day GUEST,twright@vic.australis.com.au / Jackie,

These are the words you request:

CHRISTMAS DAY

Words John Wheeler                 Music William G James

The north wind is tossing the leaves.
The red dust is over the town;
The sparrows are under the eaves,
And the grass in the paddock is brown;
As we lift up our voices and sing,
To the Christ-child the heavenly King.

The tree ferns in green gullies sway;
The cool stream flows silently by;
The joy bells are greeting the day,
And the chimes are adrift in the sky,
As we lift up our voices and sing,
To the Christ-child the heavenly King.

Regards (& have a Merry Christmas),

Bob
