Christmas is coming The goose is getting fat Please put a penny in the old man's hat If you haven't got a penny, then a ha' penny will do. If you haven't got a ha' penny, then God bless you! 'Round about the mountain 'Round about the mountain My God is waitin' You can rise in his arms The lord loves a sinner The lord loves a sinner man The lord loves a sinner who will rise in his arms I would not be a sinner. I'll tell you the reason why If the lord should want me, I would not be ready to die! I tell you fellow members, things happen mighty strange The lord was good to israel and his ways don't ever change Sometimes I feel discouraged and think my works in vain, but then the holy spirit revives my soul again. If you can't pray like peter, if you can't preach like paul, go home and tell your neighbor that he died to save us all.
