Let the Trumpets Sound

If all is lost and all is bleak
and new beginnings in life you seek
The future's empty,looking grim
Cast all your cares upon Him

Come,come,to Emannuel
    rejoice in fellowship this Noel
Praise,Praise as blessings flow,
    when Jesus Christ,you begin to know

When sorrow's sadness sears your heart
you need someone to take your part
If trials and troubles break you in two
turn to God,and be born anew

Come,come,to Emannuel
    rejoice in fellowship this Noel
Praise,Praise as blessings flow,
    when Jesus Christ,you begin to know


Sung to the air:Greensleeves

Inspired by th chorus of William Dix's carol 'What child is this...'

Congratulations to you too Brian and this song is beautiful. I tried singing it and it would hold its own with other Christmas carols. It's what Christmas is about. Love, Joyce

Short but sweet. Love the tune to "Greensleeves" and the song "What Child Is This". "Greensleeves" very lengthy. Keep the magical pen flowing. Sara
