Tune: Tempus Adeste Fidelis
('Good King Wenceslas')
********
Light and life and salvation
Christ brings every nation
Hear again the joyful tale
Repeated, shall ne'er fail
God so loved the world, he gave
Christ to us, to us save
One born to redeem mankind
Other Son we ne'er shall find
Come, join lowly mange scene
Shepherds there, they had seen
Baba amidst the cattle laid
In manger there displayed
Animals in wonderment
Gazed on Him, the Son sent
From the Father, he the Light
Of the world to banish night
Look, Lord, on our poverty
You born low and humbly
With poor you identify
To vulnerable nigh
Justice and equality
Change our hearts, so there be
Loving, sharing, helping free
Each reach full destiny
For a while on earth you stayed
In person you displayed
God the Father, Him revealed
Was not to us concealed
Now you send your Spirit, He
Person of God too be
In redeemed hearts He does dwell
That we others gospel tell

One of my all time faves, my pal Wencelsas!
Thanks CB. Did ya know the guy in person?!
I especially loved the third stanza of this poem, it speaks to all that should be. The song, so satirically and solemnly sung, is perfect. Kudos to you for posting it, and the family that performed it.
Thanks Bella.
Love it, O!
Thanks H.
Good one Orchi.
