Tune: Regent Square (Smart)
('Angels from the realms of glory')
Luke 2 v.10-20 part
********
Love, humility abounding
Earth and heaven join to sing
Tidings of a Saviour's new birth
His the name of endless worth - Chorus
Chorus
Re----joice! Christ the King is born
Re----joice! Now has dawned redemption's morn
To shepherds first, lowly station
Came the news for each nation
Christ born in Bethlehem, go see
Prince of Peace, Light of world He - Chorus
Though no room in the inn was found
Joyful stable did resound
Animals the wonder they share
Mary, Christ-child she did bare - Chorus
So shepherds they did view Him there
Journeying they well did fare
For they saw as they had been told
Messiah, promised from old - Chorus
Mystery, a hidden truth shown
Now revealed, it was seen, known
Mary, Joseph, they chosen sure
Parents of Jesus, Saviour - Chorus

Thanks STEVE ~ Just got back from CHURCH ~ Mum's Turkey smells divine ! Love the CAROL ~ Written (and always sung) from the Heart !
Your POEM brought us from the Realms of Glory ~ Down to Earth ~ Which of course is what JESUS did. LUKE presents JESUS as the SON of MAN ! It was written for the Greeks so it focusses on the visit of the SHEPHERDS not the MAG! as in MATTHEW ! Love the wording of your POEM ! Thanks for all your SPIRITUAL input to MPS in 2017 ! Yours BRIAN
