about

Every year, Numbers And Letters and their friends get together and make a new Christmas song together -- some carols, others standards or hymns, other originals. It's our annual gift to our fans and way to focus on simple storytelling.

Track Name: Alleluia Anyway
Lights burning out on the family tree
Tepid Regard when good gifts are received
No decent part in the nativity play

Alleluia anyway

Dear little child, how I hardly know thee
Your parents were poor but kept good company
You slept in a barn and you cried when awake

Alleluia anyway

This child becomes man and then Calvary won
With a promise of peace when his Kingdom is come
Praise God forever, or at least for the day

Alleluia anyway
Track Name: In The Bleak Midwinter
In the bleak midwinter, icy wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow on snow had fallen, snow on snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long and long ago.

Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim rising in the air;
Oh but holy Mary, in her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the beloved with a mother's kiss.

Heaven cannot hold Him, nor can earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.

What then can I give Him, empty as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man, I would know my part;
What then can I Him? I will give my heart.
