Tune: Antioch
('Joy to the world')
Luke 1 v.76 - 79
*********
Zacharias, his prophecy
At birth of his son be
He John the Baptist, the prophet
Of the Highest, task fit
Of the Highest, task fit
Of the, of the Highest, task fit
For he shall go before the face
Of the Lord, even pace
To prepare His way, salvation's
Knowledge give all nations
Knowledge give all nations
Knowledge, knowledge give all nations
To show to people how they may
Know unto God the way
'Tis by knowing salvation through
Jesu's works make us new
Jesu's works make us new
Jesu's, Jesu's works make us new
Forgiveness of sins, through mercy
Tender of God it be
Whereby the Dayspring from on high
The Dawn, Messiah nigh
The Dawn, Messiah nigh
The Dawn, The Dawn, Messiah nigh
To give light to them sat in dark
And shadow of death, hark
He shall guide our feet, [in] path of peace
He Lord, His reign ne'er cease
He Lord, His reign ne'er cease
He Lord, He Lord, His reign ne'er cease

- Comment from author about the poem: A carol-poem in 8.6.8. 6.6.8. metre, allowing for some 'longer notes'. Here's a rip-roaring version of it in the clip! But I don't think it spoils the original.

Well that woke me up! At church today we have "The Band" luckily the choir can drown them out sometimes. It depends if the lead guitar turns his amp up, or finds out that I have unplugged it !!
Thanks Gold. lol. One church I was with, was connected with this Bethel Church, USA, in the clip. We're gonna rave! Well, not exactly rave. lol.
ANGELA HERE ~ GOOD EVENING UNCLE STEVE ~ Thanks for that version of JOY TO THE WORLD and also the Poem about JOHN the BAPTIST ! According to Jesus ~ the greatest Man who ever lived ~ AMEN
Blessings & JOY to YOU & YOUR DOUR DOGGIE
Love in the Spirit ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💚🧡💚🧡
Thanks B&A. Yes, yet Jesus adds: 'He/She who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he'. That's little old you and me - or whoever is/are the least!
Hi B&A. If not a useless piece of info from me! - I've edited this now, only to delete one of the 'repeat' lines of each verse. there were too many. I unusually spent ages on this one, getting the right metre!
