Christmas Music

C hristmas is here, that's what the songs declare,

H ark! Can you hear the divine angels sing?

R aising melodious voices they share 

I n wondrous notes, the good news of the King;

S ilence! Let music free my heart's locked strings,

T he rise and fall of each song that I see, 

M elts my soul, tuning out the worldly things,  

A ll over again Christ is born in me;

S weet is the music of Christ to my soul -

M elodies heavenly, soothing and calm,

U phold me and relieve my distressed whole -

S inging of renewed peace is a fresh balm,

I ntonations resonate quality,

C arols are here! So's the tranquillity.
