Tune & Hymn: 'Angels from the realms of glory'

Matthew 1 v.18-25

*********

Hear the tale of Jesus' birth, this

Is story of joy and bliss

When His mother Mary betrothed

To Joseph, it was behoved

 

Chorus

Ma--ry, she would bear

Jesus, Christ-child fair

E--mman--uel, God in human life does share

 

Mary was a virgin, chaste, pure

Joseph acted to be sure

That she be not defamed, disgraced

For the way ahead she faced - Chorus

 

Then an angel in a dream said

To Joseph, son of David

Fear not, take as your wife Mary

Bears Christ by the Spirit, see - Chorus

 

And she shall bring forth a son, He

His name it shall JESUS be

Name of Saviour, for His people

He shall save from their sins all - Chorus

 

This was done, prophecy fulfilled

It was all done as God willed

Prophet Isaiah said, Behold

Good tidings to you be told - Chorus

 

So Joseph did wake from his dream

Did as the angel did deem

Took Mary to wife, then JESUS

Born Christmas morn, born ot us - Chorus

        Ee-by-gum, it's the only way I know to indicate long musical notes. That 'Ding Dong' song has an even longer Gloria. And who is Gloria?!
