Christmas Continues

Tune: Sussex Carol

(\'On Christmas night all Christians sing\')

**********

Still sing a song, you joyful throng

Christmas it be here all along

Still sing a song, you joyful throng

Christmas it be here all along

Ne\'er cancelled since first Christmas morn

Jesus, Saviour of the world born

 

What we go without, large or small

You made yourself poor, Lord of all

What we go without, large or small

You made yourself poor, Lord of all

Through your poverty we may be

Rich, if we as you Saviour see

 

Comfort our hearts where we cannot

Meet, where ours be pitiful lot

Comfort our hearts where we cannot

Meet, where ours be pitiful lot

\'Til time comes, we may meet again

In person, and restored joys then

 

Meek, lowly, Joseph and Mary

Vulnerable on travels be

Meek, lowly, Joseph and Mary

Vulnerable on travels be

From Nazareth to Bethlehem

To enlist in the census then

 

From north to south they did travel

Joseph was of David\'s line all

From north to south they did travel

Joseph was of David\'s line all

City of Bethlehem, though there

Mary no room her babe to bear

 

They shared a poor stable, was so

Troubles, difficulties did know

They shared a poor stable, was so

Troubles, difficulties did know

Yet there Mary without delay

Brought forth the Christ-child there that day
