that many hold so deafj But the sounds ofmusic can't compare with
the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tellyou, the)f!Y their voices bring, For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how muchyou miss me, I see the pain insideyour heart,
But I am notfar awqy, we reai!J aren't apart. I can't tellyou ofthe
