Coupla years back I wrote a verse of carol, and laid it aside. Last year I wrote another, then laid it aside. I've written a coupla more, but.... still needs another. Here's what I got so far...


Israel cried for her messiah
Mary had a baby boy
Come to baptize men with fire
God a babe in Mary's arms
Sing Hallelujah
Glory in the highest
O, Hallelujah
God a babe in Mary's arms

Angels sang in adoration
Mary had a baby boy
Come to bring the world salvation
God a babe in Mary's arms
Sing Hallelujah
Glory in the highest
O, Hallelujah
God a babe in Mary's arms

Shepherds quailed in fear and wonder
Mary had a baby boy
Come to die and death to conquer
God a babe in Mary's arms
Sing Hallelujah
Glory in the highest
O, Hallelujah
God a babe in Mary's arms

Wise men came with gifts a' bearing
Mary had a baby boy
Come to give us life unending
God a babe in Mary's arms
Sing Hallelujah
Glory in the highest
O, Hallelujah
God a babe in Mary's arms


Still need a final verse... I'm stuck. Actually have a melody, though... and chords and tab. The last bit'll come. I'm not at all worried.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Hows about this one...?


Centuries gone, the world a' pining
Mary had a baby boy
For a King resplendent shining
God a babe in Mary's arms
Sing Hallelujah
Glory in the highest
O, Hallelujah
God a babe in Mary's arms

    Looks very good without the music. One thing, though, if you are going for Biblical accuaracy:


    No where in the Bible does it mention Angels sing.

    Merry Christmas.

    Nice song, it reads like it could be an old time hymn song.

    I can hear Johnny Cash's gravelly warble singin' it slow and low ...
