Bellingen Christmas Carols

Hopefully one a week until Christmas.
You can join us and sing some of them at the Carols, 7:30pm Fri 21st December at Bello Uniting Church, or at our Christmas service at 8:30 am (!)

Oh little town of Bellingen
tune: little town of Bethlehem

Oh little town of Bellingen
How still we see thee lie
No shopping carts, no big kmarts
No Woolworths is nearby
Yes in thy dark streets shineth
No garish neon light
Just starlight beams as children dream
And fruitbats onward glide

But online shops are calling
Toormina’s down the road
And Coffs you see, calls you and me
“Hey come and spend a load!”
So let us sing together
Of life and its true worth
Presents are fine, presence divine
Upon this gift of Earth.

Now let us all in Bellingen
Together sing along
Jesus came: God’s love proclaimed!
But Christmas has gone wrong.
For Coke-a-cola’s “Father”
Says, “Show your love with cash”
But we will stick with old St Nick
Santa is balderdash!
