First Christmas

by Sankey

1. Joseph and Mary came to Bethlehem
Shepherds were minding sheep.
And the Wise Men were scanning the heavens
The course of "THE STAR" to keep.
CHORUS
Christmas Time is here again
It's the birthday of Our Lord
He's the Son God gave our souls to save,
We read it in His Word.
2.Joy to all men and Glory on High
Sang angels in bright array
But our Saviour had no place to lay His Head
Just a manger laid with hay
Chorus:
3.Praise be to God for His Wondrous Gift to us
Heaven and Earth Rejoice
May the blessed Message of Christmas,
Be sung by ev'ry voice.
Last Chorus:
Christmas Time is here again
It's the birthday of Our Lord
He's the Son God gave our souls to save,
Now His message you have heard.

Another of my 'Christian' Christmas Carols I wrote in a University break in 1974. Fanart pic has now gone sadly.

I wrote this Carol out of frustration with the world's view on Christmas. Especially Carols By Candle Light programmes where very little is presented of the true meaning of Christmas. Please be aware that this was written by an Australian so that if you think words don't rhyme in your own local "lingo" that is the reason. As a good friend has said even Shakespeare used 'almost rhymes' in his writings. Thanks to SemiSarah for Mother Cloud picture recently added.
