Our Christmas King

Now to welcome our Christmas King
Hear the hosts of Angels sing
Heaven and earth in union sing
Welcome to our Christmas King.

The host of Angels forever sing
Praises to the King of Kings
Sage and Shepherd still they pay
Gifts of homage to Him today.

Not the sound of sleighbells ringing
Nor the choirs of Angels singing
But the world in expectation
Awaits the Lord of all creation.

Questions for Christmas

Now we come upon the season
Of goodwill and of cheer
Will you think just for a moment
As Christmas day draws near?

Will you see the coloured baubles
As they hang upon the trees?
Will you see the sparkling windows
Full of colourful displays?

Will you watch the Carol singers
In the gently falling snow?
Will you read the Christmas story
Of a Manger long ago?

Welcome then the festive season
As shepherds in days of yore
Jesus Is the reason
We cannot ask for more.
