Come, Let Us Sing

Come, let us sing of his natal day
The Christ-Child in the manger lay
Too soon will come the dreadful day
He for mankind’s sins must pay.

Chorus:
It’s Christmas, it’s Christmas
The loveliest time of the year
When angels sang from heav’n above
And Jesus came to us in love.

Come, let us sing of the Nativity
Join us in the holiest festivity,
The Christ-Child brings us liberty
Come, let us sing of the Nativity.

Let’s raise our voices loud and clear
For wise men three let’s give a cheer,
For lowly shepherds who knew no fear,
For Joseph and Mary, his parents dear.

I think you should write a hymn book while you are in Mexico Hank!

Oh, my. That's quite a compliment. You know, I write very few lyrics, and then I don't know how to write the notes, etc. I never learned how to do that. I can sing them in my head, but can't put them to paper.

I can sing it in my head; now, if I only could figure out how to write the music! Thanks, Jo.
