There are people who live in mansions

There is a green hill

There was one, there were two

There wasn’t any room at the inn

There’s a great big world out there

There’s a rainbow in the sky

We have a King who rides a donkey

We plough the fields, and scatter

We thank God for the harvest

We three Kinds of Orient are

We will praise

We wish you a merry Christmas

We’re going to shine like the sun

What kind of man was this

When God made the garden of creation

When I need a neighbour

When Jesus was my age

When the Spirit of the Lord

When your Father made the world

Whether you’re one

While shepherds watched

Who made the corn grow?

Who put the colours in the rainbow?

Who’s the king of the jungle?

With Jesus in the boat

Yesterday, today, for ever

You are the King of glory

You can drink it, swim in it

You must do for others

You shall go out with joy

You’ve got to move
