Poem to be be sung to the tune of 'Hark the Heald Angels Sing'

At Christmas when earth is laden with snow The world sparkles with a silvery glow There is an exuberant atmosphere Of peace, hope and an abundance of cheer. Bright paper chains hung across the ceiling Stirring the elating festive feeling Fir trees magically decorated An annual custom throughout the ages. Come all people, o’er the earth Share the glory of Christ’s birth. Standing below street lamps, carol singing The jubilant sounds of church bells ringing Children waiting with anticipation Santa’s visit to their habitation. Chocolate coins displayed upon the tree The little Father Christmas handkerchief Placed inside stockings filled with candy treats For the children, when rousing from their sleep. Come all people, o’er the earth Share the glory of Christ’s birth. Family and friends share the special day That commemorates Jesus Christ’s birthday Joyfully merry, all day long they sing In honouring Jesus, born King of Kings. In a manger Mary's baby boy lay Nestled gently on a bed made of hay Angels watched o’er Jesus day and night The child who was sent to shine Godly Light. Come all people, o’er the earth Share the glory of Christ’s birth.

Thank you Anne-Lise, I haven’t entered the contest because the sponsor is looking for comical lyrics, which these aren’t… Beryl

Yes you can still get those chocolate coins, though they don’t appeal to me anymore. Wishing you a merry Christmas too brother John… Sis Beryl xx

I cannot go through a complete Christmas church servive without being chocked up with every Christmas Carol sung, and at the end of the day I miss the best part of Christmas. LOVED your Christmas song, which did exactly the same to me. Absolutely awEsome. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.
