Christmas Joy
Words by Carey and Sue Loomis
Music by Carey Loomis
Verse 1
When days are too short and the nights are too cold
Crowds are too thick and the ads are too bold,
Remember the manger, the star and the gold.
Chorus
Let this Christmas fill you with joy,
For love and peace, all those are Thine.
You have today all that you need.
Bring us together and bring in the Christ.
Verse 2
Light candles of welcome, with warm hearts enfold.
Hang circles of evergreen for all to behold.
Remember the manger, the star and the gold.
Chorus
Verse 3
Gather your family and friends of your soul.
Sing songs of joy that are never too old.
Remember the manger, the star and the gold.

My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord
Words and music by Susan Mack
Arranged by The Solo Committee
Verse 1
The angel Gabriel was sent from God
To the city Nazareth,
To a virgin espoused to Joseph.
Mary was her name; Mary was her name.
Chorus
My soul doth magnify the Lord
And rejoiceth in God.
God is mighty and hath done great things.
Holy is His name; Holy is His name.
Verse 2
The angel came to Mary and said,
Hail! Thou art highly favored.
The Lord is with thee. Thou shalt bear a son.
Jesus shall be his name; Jesus shall be his name.
Chorus
Verse 3
Mary asked the angel then,
How shall this be? I know no man.
The Holy Ghost shall come, he said,
And reveal the Christ; reveal the Christ.
Bridge
The holy thing that is born of thee
Shall be called the Son of God.
Of his kingdom there shall be no end.
He shall reign forevermore.

Every Christmas Morn
Words and music by Susan Mack
Arranged by The Solo Committee
Verse 1
Shepherds keeping watch by night,
In solitude you see the light,
The light of one lone shining star,
The one so brave that gleams afar.
Chorus
Let it lead you all the way
To see the babe this Christmas day;
The babe of hope that’s newly born
On this and every Christmas morn.
Verse 2
Across a night of darkness go
But do not wander to and fro.
Give you whole attention there,
Undeterred by earthly care.
Chorus
Bridge
And when you find the precious child
Fall on bended knee awhile.
Worship, honor and implore
This babe of healing you adore.
Verse 3
This is the work of shepherds all,
To watch and listen for the call
That comes as light in darkest gloom
And brings our deepest prayers to bloom.
Chorus
Let it lead you all the way
To see the babe this Christmas day;
The babe of hope that’s newly born
On this, on this and every Christmas morn.
Let it lead you every Christmas morn.

To the Babe
Words by Sue Loomis
Music by Carey Loomis
Verse 1
Wise men and camels traveled far
Guided by an awesome star.
Faithful wise men, now, today,
Show us how to find our way to the babe.
Chorus
Wait! Watch! Open hearted;
Faithful, once you’re started.
Love still shines today,
Showing us the way to the babe.
Verse 2
Wise men watched the stars for signs
Of a king they went to find.
We watch news. We search online
But never see conclusive signs……
Verse 3
Wise men toiled on, unafraid,
And found the baby, sweetly laid.
They freely gave inspired wealth
I can give myself to the babe.
Chorus
Bridge
Trusting the star that guides me,
I find the babe beside me.
Mother Love will show me
Christ, who’s always loved and known me.
Verse 4
Wise men saved – warned by dreams,
They avoided Herod’s schemes.
Listen; don’t be led astray.
Go with angels all the way to the babe.

Christmas Morn
Words by Mary Baker Eddy, used by permission
Music by Robert Rockabrand
Verse 1
Blest Christmas morn, though murky clouds
Pursue thy way,
Thy light was born where storm enshrouds
Nor dawn nor day!
Verse 2
Dear Christ, forever here and near,
No cradle song,
No natal hour and mother’s tear,
To thee belong.
Verse 3
Thou God-idea, Life encrowned,
The Bethlehem babe –
Beloved, replete, by flesh embound –
Was but thy shade!
Verse 4 & 5
Thou gentle beam of living Love,
And deathless Life!
Truth infinite, so far above
All mortal strife,
Or cruel creed, or earthborn taint;
Fill us today
With all thou art – be thou our saint,
Our stay, alway.

Unto Us
Words by Carey and Sue Loomis
Music by Carey Loomis
Arranged by The Solo Committee
Chorus
Unto us a child is born!
Unto us a son is given!
He’ll be called Emanuel –
God is with us; God with us.
Verse 1
Light of Love, oh bless us all!
Baby Jesus, in a manger stall;
Born of Mary, pure of thought,
Innocence by all men sought.
Chorus
Verse 2
Christ the King, by prophets long foretold,
Wise men brought him frankincense and gold.
Through his Soul inspired healing ministry,
He taught the Truth that makes men free.
Chorus
Verse 3
Crucified by fear and guilt and sin,
Rising still, the Christly sense within,
Overcoming worldly hate and strife,
Showing forth the kingdom of eternal Life.
Bridge
For the seekers everywhere,
For the gentile, Jew and Greek,
For disciples through all time,
Christ is here for those who seek.

This Babe That We Chrerish
Words and music by Sara T Rockabrand
Verse 1
This babe born of Mary,
Sent from heaven above;
This babe that we cherish,

To him we bring our tribute,
Our carols and our art;
What more can I give him?
Give him my heart.

In the perfect man;
God’s great gift revealing
His eternal plan;
This babe of Christian healing,
We cherish and adore.
Come, Christians, join in singing,
Praise forever more.

Have seen a great and wondrous light.
The glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
And all together see His might.

Every valley shall be exalted,
Every mountain and hill made low,
The crooked made straight and the rough places plain;
It is written in our hearts so we all know.

The Solo Committee Hernando, Florida
In May of 2001 a small group of people began holding Christian Science Sunday services on the south side of St. Louis. It was a precious group of people, and Susan, a Christian Science practitioner, decided to drag out her old guitar and write some church solos. She soon was joined by Carey and Sue Loomis and The Solo Committee was born. Over the years they have produced 11 albums. ... more
