SANDHILL CRANES
Music and Words by Kate Power
Sandhill cranes gather in the field
Lift in the wind, turn and reel,
I can tell the sound by the way it feels
It fills me with wonder and delight. light, light
It fills me with wonder and delight
Sing in antiphon, fill up the air
One starts to go, and they follow him everywhere
I would go with them if I wasn’t planted here
With my feet on the ground I walk and go, go, go - oh
With my feet on the ground I walk and go
Hey-heya heya, ho - Grandmother show me what I need to know
Hey-heya, heya ho - Grandfather show me where I need to go
Hey, hey, heya, heya - Father Sky watch me from on high
Hey, hey, heya, heya -. Mother Earth carry me below
Hey, hey, heya, heya - Sister River run beside my side
Hey, hey, heya, heya, - Brother Trees reach and rise … ayi-ize,

Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

MARY'S BABY
Words & Music by Kate Power
Come sing! Shepherds & kings,
Sing for the babe in the manger.
Peace and joy to bring, and
Bless you wherever you go.
Out in the wood on a wintry night,
The evening star shone so brightly, so bright;
And there in the manger, a baby boy born,
To Mary, a baby was born!
Out on the road, through the desert three kings,
Did ride with their eyes and their senses so keen,
For a sign of the King they were seeking, foreseen,
For a sign of the King foreseen.
The cattle and horses, the piggies and sheep
All huddled up close for the Baby to keep,
Swaddled there in the arms of His Mother, asleep;
Swaddled there in her arms asleep.
“Mary's baby!”, the angels sing,
“Mary's baby!”, Prince of Peace!”
Now Mother and baby are gone long ago,
This story is older than older than old...
Still on every Christmas morning is told,
On Christmas morning is told.
That there in the wood on a wintry night
The evening star shone so brightly, so bright!
And there in a manger, a baby boy born
To Mary a baby was born

THESE ARE MY MOUNTAINS
Scottish Traditional, Arr Kate Power
For fame and for fortune I wandered the earth
And now I return to the land of my birth
I brought back my treasures but only to find
They're less than the pleasures I first left behind
CHORUS
For these are my mountains and this is my glen
The days of my childhood I’ll see them again
No land will ever tempt me, nor far will I roam
For these are my mountains and I'm going home
Just been by the road sign, and I’m going back
The lark overhead wings a welcoming cry
No longer the droll plight, it’s here I would be
There where my heart lies, there I'll be free
Kind faces will meet me and welcome me in
And oh how they’ll greet me back home again
This night round the fireside sad songs will be sung
At last I'll be speaking in my old mother tongue.

UNDRESSED MELODY
Words & Music by Kate Power
So alive with you by my side.
A day without you draws night within me.
How can I even try growing older without you now?
Every moment we carry in life
Holding together in sorrow and light,
Finding the morning with you by my side,
Fills me so gladly to feel you there.
