Tune: Sussex Carol
('On Christmas night all Christians sing')
Matthew 1 v.21-25
*******
Mary, she shall bring forth a son
JESUS, the Son of God, the one
Mary, she shall bring forth a son
JESUS, the Son of God, the one
For He shall save His people, He
From their sins, it shall surely be
Now all this was done, that it might
Be fulfilled, revealed to our sight
Now all this was done, that it might
Be fulfilled, revealed to our sight
Come to pass as prophet foretold
Isaiah in the days of old
Behold, virgin shall be with child
Her name be Mary, lowly, mild
Behold, virgin shall be with child
Her name be Mary, lowly, mild
She shall bring forth a son, Him call
God with us now, Emmanuel
Joseph he did with Mary stay
Guided by angel in the way
Joseph he did with Mary stay
Guided by angel in the way
Till time of birth of firstborn son
JESUS, the Son of God, the one

Now this sounds very Christmas like both in topic and it the line repetition. Nicely done Orchi
