As some of you might already know, DUCF will be presenting christmas carols during the LEO Christmas Party.
The details of the party are:
Day: Friday
Date: 21st December 2007
Time: starts at 7 pm
[don't be late, we will be the opening act]
Attire: formal/costume
[our colour code will be red. black. white. wear any of the three but try to have all three if you can]
Tickets: RM17
Venue: Taman Tun Community Hall
First of all, our main purpose for going to this LEO party will be to publicize about DUCF, who we are and what we do. So don't complain that you have to pay RM17 or brave the night to go for the party. It's a ridiculously small price to pay in comparison for what He has paid for you =) Fair enough? To buffer it all, we'll be getting Certificates of Appreciation, so no worries.
Tomorrow we will be having our first and final practice.
Time: 9 am - 12 am
Date: Friday, 21st December 2007
Venue: Joel's house - No 36, Jalan BU4/3
[After One Utama, drive past Central Park on your left. When you see BU4 school, turn left. Go all the way straight and take the second turning to the right, just when you see the shoplots]
Tickets: FREE!!
[practice time only mah -____-]
Who's invited?: EVERYBODY!!
This Christmas Carolling would be open to everybody who wants to participate. Just come on friday morning to practice and you'll be good to go.
The songs we will be singing are:
1) Feliz Navidad
2) We wish you a merry christmas
3) Hark the Herald Angels Sing - slower version
4) O Holy Night
Most importantly, we will be SINGING ACAPELLA!! whooohooo =P
Acapella = A song without instruments
Just a little info
Psalms = Songs with Instruments
Hymns = Songs without Instruments =)
I tried timing all the songs and we would technically end under 10 minutes because they are actually quite short =)
Everybody should practice before they come for practice as this would make things a lot easier
So here are the songs, lyrics and the chords.
1) Feliz Navidad
By a school chior
A more professional version
This song is quite simple, and the key will be in G [most probably - to suit everyone's range]. We'll synchronize the key on friday.
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero Ano y Felicidad.
Feliz Navidad

We wish you a Merry Christmas;

Come Desire of nations come
Fix in us Thy humble home
Rise the woman's conq'ring seed

Reinstate us in Thy love

Verse 1:Sounds fun right?

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
Am G7 C
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth.
F C C7
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Em/B B7 Em
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
G7/D G7 G7/B C
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,

For yon - der breaks a new and glorious morn.

Verse 2:
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the wise men from orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our Friend
Chorus 2:
He knows our need
to our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King before Him lowly bend
Behold your King before Him lowly bend
Verse 3:
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Chorus 3:
Christ is the Lord
O praise His name forever
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim
That can only mean one thing.
DON'T MISS IT!!
