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’ .
