tidings of comfort and joy

comfort
and 
joy

Two powerful words that form the basis of the chorus of a well-known Christmas carol.
This season, I have created new words for this old carol.......

here they are:

(sing to 'God rest ye merry gentlemen')

From all four corners of the earth

From land and sea and sky

From deepest depths of ocean

From mountain peaks on high  

A song of hope

A song of love

A song of peace is born

O Tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy  

For those whose song has ended

For those whose hearts have died

For those whose dreams are broken

For those who weep and sigh

A promise of

Redemption comes

A story of new life

O Tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

Don’t let your hearts be troubled

And do not be afraid

Love overcomes all darkness

Love overcomes all shame

Let’s sing a song of freedom

Let’s sing a song of praise

O Tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O Tidings of comfort and joy

A song of hope igniting

A song of love is born

A song of peace fills all the earth

this glorious Christmas morn

A song of hope

A song of love

A song of peace is born

O tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

To the melody of ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’ .
