A Carol of Christ

orchidee



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 ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก
