Isaiah FirebraceThe incredible story of 20-year-old Isaiah started as a young boy with very little except for a big dream. He attended high school on the banks of the Murray River and often went without food in order to fund the six hours of travel required to get to his singing lessons every Saturday.

The song reflects on the love affair between our souls and ourselves and the longing for the two to be connected again. Spirit is a gift to Australia and its people. In 2019, Isaiah completed a 50 date tour around Australia, singing the hit single to communities experiencing hardship.

Isaiah has been writing his new album with some of the finest song writers in the world. To include Spirit, this body of work will see

him engaging with fans around the world as he tours Australia, Europe and America over the coming two years.

Remember the name, Isaiah’s music is set to reach all corners of the world.

Advance Australia Fair

Once in Royal David’s City

Australians all let us rejoice

For we are young and free

We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil

Our home is girt by sea

Our land abounds in nature’s gifts

Of beauty rich and rare

In history’s page, let every stage Advance Australia Fair

In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair

Once in royal David’s city Stood a lowly cattle shed

Where a mother laid her babyIn a manger for His bed

Mary was that mother mildJesus Christ her little child

He came down to earth from heavenWho is God and Lord of all

And His shelter was a stableAnd His cradle was a stall

With the poor and meek and lowlyLived on earth our Saviour holy

And our eyes at last shall see Him through His own redeeming loveFor that child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heaven aboveAnd He leads His children on to the place where He is gone

Not in that poor lowly stable with the oxen standing byWe shall see Him, but in heaven set at God’s right hand on high

When like stars His children crownedAll in white shall be around

17

Angels from the Realms of Glory

Jingle Bells

Angels from the realms of glory, wing your flight o’er all the earth; Ye who sang creation’s story, now proclaim Messiah’s birth

Gloria………………… In Excelsis Deo Gloria………………… In Excelsis Deo

Shepherds, in the field abiding, watching o’er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing; yonder shines the infant light


Though an Infant now we view Him He shall fill His Father’s throneGather all the nations to Him Every knee shall then bow down


All creation, join in praising God, the Father, Spirit, SonEvermore your voices raising To th’eternal Three in One


Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleighO’er the fields we go, laughing all the way

Bells on bob tails ring, making spirits brightWhat fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the wayOh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey

Jingle bells, jingle bells jingle all the wayOh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a rideAnd soon Miss Fanny Bright, was seated by my side

The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lotWe got into a drifted bank and then we got upshot

18



Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleighO’er the fields we go laughing all the way

Bells on bob tails ring making spirits brightWhat fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight



The First NoelNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel

The First Noel, the Angels did sayWas to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay

In fields where they lay keeping their sheepOn a cold winter’s night that was so deep

Noel, Noel, Noel, NoelBorn is the King of Israel

They looked up and saw a starShining in the East beyond them farAnd to the earth it gave great light

And so it continued both day and night


And let us all with one accordSing praises to our heavenly lord

That hath in heaven and earth of naughtAnd with his blood mankind hath bought


19

Silent NightSilent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glory streams from heaven afar

Heavenly host sing Halleluiah

Christ the savior is born

Christ the savior is born

Silent night, holy night

Son of God, love’s pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus, lord at thy birth

Jesus, lord at thy birth

O Come All Ye FaithfulO come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant

Oh come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem

Come and behold him, born the King of angels

O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O come, let usadore him, Christ the Lord

God of God, light of light, lo, he abhors not the Virgin’s womb

Very God, begotten not created


Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation, sing, all ye citizens ofheaven above

Glory to God in the highest

Ding Dong Merrily on HighDing dong! merrily on high, in heaven the bells are ringing

Ding dong! verily the sky, is riven with angels singing

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

E’en so here below, belowLet steeple bells be swungen,

And i-o, i-o, i-o, by priest and people sungen


Pray you dutifully prime, your matin chime ye ringersMay you beautifully rhyme, your eve’time song ye singers


O Little Town of BethlehemO little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go byYet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light

The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all aboveWhile mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love

O morning stars together proclaim the holy birthAnd praises sing to God the King, and Peace to men on earth

How silently, how silently the wonderous gift is givenSo, God imparts to human hearts the blessing of His heaven

No ear may hear His coming but in this world of sinWhere meek souls will receive him still the dear Christ enters in

O Holy Child of Bethlehem, descend on us, we prayCast out our sin and enter in, be born to us today

We hear the Christmas Angels; the great glad tidings tellO come to us, abide with us, O Lord Emmanuel

22

God Rest Ye Merry GentlemenGod rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay

Remember Christ our Savior, was born on Christmas DayTo save us all from Satan’s pow’r when we were gone astray

Oh tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem, in Israel, this blessed Babe was bornAnd laid within a manger upon this blessed morn

The which His Mother Mary did nothing take in scornOh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Fear not then, said the Angel let nothing you affrightThis day is born a Savior of a pure Virgin bright

To free all those who trust in Him from Satan’s pow’r and mightOh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

We Wish You a Merry ChristmasWe wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year
