Tune & Carol: The holly and the ivy
Luke 1 v.26-38 parts
********
The angel Gabriel sent
To Nazareth he went
To house of David, a virgin
He did speak unto then
Chorus
Hail, Mary, high favoured
The Lord to you has sure said
You shall bear the Christ-child, name Jesus
A Saviour unto us
Thus Gabriel did so speak
To Mary, lowly, meek
Blesséd are you among women for
Holy child you bear sure - Chorus
Mary said, How shall this be?
For I a virgin, see
The angel said, The holy Ghost
Shall o'ershadow you most - Chorus
So the holy one which shall
Be born of you, know well
Shall be the Son of God, His name
Jesus Christ, He the same - Chorus
Though Mary, she questioned how
These things should occur now
Gabriel said, With God nought be
Impossible, you shall see - Chorus

- Comment from author about the poem: A carol-poem, with Verses: 7.6.8.6. metre, and Chorus: 6.7.9.6. metre. I am aiming to include some Carol tunes not all exactly the same as last year.

Are you angelic Orchi? Fine work as always.
Thanks M lol. You know the sisters Holly and Ivy Berles?
I feel sorry for Ivy - why can't she wear the crown sometimes?
Yes - will it be PC to adjust the carol? And what is Carol's surname - we never get to know?
I think it's Singer.
Good one Orchi
Thanks Gold.
