Christmas Carol 2024 ~ a lullaby for Love

Metre: 4444 + refrain

Small sleeping God,
Slain weeping God,
Born in the night:
Fill us with light.

Laid with beasts’ food –
You are our food;
Fed on this earth –
Give us new birth.

Shepherds are near,
Magi come near,
Rich and the poor
Cross heaven’s door.

Night turns to dawn,
True hope can dawn:
Hope brought to light,
Sharing our plight.

Angels now sing:
Everyone sing!
Echo the heights,
Peace of truth’s rights!

What shall we sing?
Can we all sing?
God is right here
In each shed tear.

Seeing this love,
Sharing this love:
Here is God’s power –
Midnight’s dark hour.

Pondering heart,
Wondering heart;
Birth and a death,
First and last breath.

Christmas is here!
Jesus is here!
Every depth plumb –
Your Kingdom come!

Small sleeping God,
Slain weeping God,
Born in the night:
Fill us with light.
