Tune: Calypso Carol
('See Him lying on a bed of straw')
Luke 1 v.26-33
**********
Sent from God the angel Gabriel
To Nazareth, good tidings to tell
To a virgin betrothed to man there
Angel did them the message share
Chorus
Virgin's name was Mary, the angel
Said to her, 'Rejoice, to you, Hail!'
The Lord is with you, and blessed you be
High favoured among women, see
The man's name was Joseph, he did care
For his betrothed one tender and fair
When Mary saw angel, she troubled
Wondered unto what she was called - Chorus
The angel said to her, Mary, Fear
Not, for I do bring you tidings dear
For you have with God found sure favour
Here now this promise true savour - Chorus
And, behold, you shall conceive in your
Womb, and bring forth a son, holy, pure
And you shall call His name JESUS, for
He shall be Saviour evermore - Corus
He shall be great, called Son of Most High
Yet He shall come unto humans nigh
The Lord God shall give to Him the throne
Of David, He shall true it own - Chorus
And He shall reign o'er House of Israel
For ever and ever, ruling well
Of His kingdom there shall be no end
All nations shall Him homage tend - Chorus

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem, with Verses in 9.9.9.8. and Chorus in 9.8.9.8. format. I'm not keen on drums, so I didn't choose a clip with them in it. They can 'murder' a song sometimes, a horrid expression I heard!
