Tune & Hymn 'The First Nowell'
Luke 1 v.76-79
*********
Announcing news of glad tidings
Message of joy heaven's host brings
Christ, in Bethlehem true His birth
The Son of God come down to earth
Chorus
John, the prophet of the Highest
The Christ-child, He for ever blest
Zacharias, John's father he
Prophesied of how it would be
John would go before the Lord' face
To prepare His ways, truth and grace - Chorus
To give knowledge of salvation
To His people of each nation
By the remission, forgiveness
Of their sins, great comfort is this - Chorus
It be through the tender mercy
Of our God, whereby Dayspring free
From on high has visited here
The Dawn, Messiah does appear - Chorus
He gives light to them that do sit
In darkness, and too path be lit
For those in the shadow of death
Who, as it were, near final breath - Chorus
And to guide our feet into way
Of peace, and give us light each day
Let earth Him praise, rejoice and sing
Welcome, our Lord, Saviour, and King - Chorus
