Christmas (Traditional song) performe

lyrics

Christmas is now drawing near at hand,
Come serve the Lord and be at his command
And God a portion for you will provide
And give a blessing to your soul beside.


Down in the garden where flowers grow in ranks.
Down on your bended knees and give the Lord thanks.
Down on your knees and pray both night and day.
Give off your sins and live upright I pray.


So proud and lofty is some sort of sin,
That many take delight and pleasure in.
Whose conversation God does much dislike
And yet he shakes his sword before he strikes.

So proud and lofty do some people go
Dressing themselves like players in a show
They patch and paint and dress with idle stuff
As if God had not made them fine enough.


Even little children learn to curse and swear
And can’t rehearse one word of Godly prayer.
Oh teach them better, teach them to rely
On Christ the sinners friend who reigns on high.
