Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with us...

WELCOME to this third Global Christmas Collaboration. Not surprisingly it's celebrating children because this is the time when we particularly remember how a very special child was born in a humble manger over two thousand years ago.

 

We truly hope you enjoy our contributors’ offerings, each donated in true Christmas spirit. Enjoy the songs for their charm or fun then, please consider making a donation to a local children's charity. May you find peace this Christmas season...

A CAROL FOR CHILDREN �" A GLOBAL COLLABORATION

 

Come the day, the sweet sung day,

When bells ring loud and children play,

Light the world for He is born,

See, oh see, bright Heaven's dawn…

Emma (U.K.)

 

 As we raise our hands to thee we praise

We your children give thanks everyday 

For the greatest gift you've raised

In Your glory and honor we pray…

Mauricio Montoya (U.S .A.)

 

Children are in pain

Their lives are lost in vain

He who keeps us alive

Forgets about life

Palles (Denmark)

 

Pray for the hope for every child,

Smile his or her heart forever,

Playing or sleeping happy,

We beg God answer our prayer.

 Sucre (France)

 

Hear the angels voice...

Children look at the stars shine
They run to shed for bow
Child who is born ...

Jola (Poland)

 

Noel noel held in swaddling cloth,

The Savior’s birth Christmas, hails to bring

A greatest gift to all God’s children,

Peace on Earth and hope to this manger...

Rory CJ Frankson (Canada)

 

Upon the hour, the blessed hour,

The bells ring out, from every tower,

Children wake, to a magical day,

On this, the sacred holiday…

Shellie (Ireland)

 

I went home and saw a pine tree

I started to decorate it freely

And it became a Christmas tree

Come fast Santa with your present please…

Dushyant Thadani (India)

 

Behold the babe, God's only Son,

the King of Kings, to Him we run.

He blesses all the children, Jesus His name,

joyfully sing, His glory proclaim...

Marianne (Australia)

 

For it shines all year

But today it glows like a dream

Come on out my dear

We need your Christmas gleam…

Serah (India)

 

Now comes night, sweet sacred night,

God’s peace fills the air, and all is right,

Starry host sings a lullaby

For children’s dreams on which to fly…

Craig (U.S.A.)

So beautiful Marianna. This is just amazing. You did a great job with this. I really like how it dispenses with Christmas as a secular holiday, and translates such wonderful religious beliefs to your reader. I don't see how I could improve upon this delightful work.
