Tune: Adeste Fidelis
('O come all ye faithful')
**********
Christ in a manger laid
To human view displayed
Come see the lowly scene with cattle arrayed
Joseph and Mary
His earthly parents be
Chorus
Behold, the Lord of glory
Behold, the Lord of gloer
behold, the Lord of glory
Come and see
Light of the world shines bright
In a stable, dark night
Dawning, revealed unto our inward sight
Saviour of all, we
Partake of His grace free - Chorus
The Sun of righteousness
Son of God shall us bless
As we trust and believe and Him confess
Born of the Spirit
God His Father, 'tis fit - Chorus
So by faith may we be
Your servants faithfully
Yet too we children in your family
Your sons and daughters
You have saved and sought us - Chorus

Hi Gold - you remember 1065? You and I, and some other poets, were there at the Dedication in person. Just before 1066 it was!
I was in the Presbytery drinking the wine if I remember rightly.
THANKS FOR SHARING ~ Unacle Steve ~ And reminding us the INCARNATION took place in RECENT HISTORY @ the BC / AD interface ! Because Writing and the Musical & Visual Arts were well advanced we have the well documented accounts in the Gospels ~ which underlines that it was no ORDINARY BIRTH and that JESUS BAR-JOSEPH was no ordinay BABY but was indeed the Incarnate Son of God ! Thousands of Paintings have tried to capture the Birth & Bioyhood & Ministry of JESUS and Thousands of Books Poems Hymns & Oritorios witen in His Honour ! And WHY ? Because i is ALL TRUE ! JESUS was & is & always will be *The SAME - Yesterday - Today & Forever - The Eternal Son of God - An essential & integral one Third of the GODHEAD - THE TRINITY - AMEN & AMEN !
Nothing with this TRUTH compares
That GOD was Man in Palestine
And lives each day in BREAD & WINE !
Thnaks for caring & sharing a GREAT HYMN & POEM
Blessings & JOY to YOU and Your CANDID CUR !
Love in the SPIRIT Angela & Brian 🧡💙🧡💙🧡
