Tune: Sussex Carol
('On Christmas night all Christians sing')
**********
Still sing a song, you joyful throng
Christmas it be here all along
Still sing a song, you joyful throng
Christmas it be here all along
Ne'er cancelled since first Christmas morn
Jesus, Saviour of the world born
What we go without, large or small
You made yourself poor, Lord of all
What we go without, large or small
You made yourself poor, Lord of all
Through your poverty we may be
Rich, if we as you Saviour see
Comfort our hearts where we cannot
Meet, where ours be pitiful lot
Comfort our hearts where we cannot
Meet, where ours be pitiful lot
'Til time comes, we may meet again
In person, and restored joys then
Meek, lowly, Joseph and Mary
Vulnerable on travels be
Meek, lowly, Joseph and Mary
Vulnerable on travels be
From Nazareth to Bethlehem
To enlist in the census then
From north to south they did travel
Joseph was of David's line all
From north to south they did travel
Joseph was of David's line all
City of Bethlehem, though there
Mary no room her babe to bear
They shared a poor stable, was so
Troubles, difficulties did know
They shared a poor stable, was so
Troubles, difficulties did know
Yet there Mary without delay
Brought forth the Christ-child there that day
