Tune: Winchester Old
('While shepherds watched')
Luke Chapter 2 parts
*********
Come now and see the Saviour's birth
And give Him praise and worth
He be found in a manger laid
The Son of God displayed
In Bethlehem, a little town
But now of great renown
The 'house 'of bread', Christ is born here
Bread of life does appear
And skies were filled with angel throng
They sang their joyful song
To lowly shepherds was revealed
Birth of Christ, not concealed
Seek Him not in a palace bright
Though He the world's true light
Creatures in stable join in joy
Here born a baby boy
He be full human, full divine
Does with God's glory shine
We too many be born from above
By the Spirit, the dove

- Comment from author about the poem: A carol-poem in 8.6.8.6. metre. Happy Christmas to you - next year I mean. Well, there's about 360 days to go. I might forget to send you greetings by then. Spot the 'deliberate mistake' on this page! Gentle humour, not irreverent.
