A Holiday Treat -- December 2007
The basics would be me and my guitar playing stuff I wrote as well as the occasional cover, but occasionally there's a piano or another person involved.
Story behind the song
I started this in mid-November, and yet here I am a month later, only just getting it up. After three weeks of being pretty much incapable of working on the thing at all, I've spent the last two days battling mic problems, sinusitis, relentless hum, and the general gauntlet of my life in order to finish it, determined to put it up in time for the holidays. So please do enjoy. :)
Lyrics
What Child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary’s breast is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, Spear shall pierce him through,
The Cross be borne for me, for you; 4
Hail, Hail the Word made flesh, 5
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, Raise, the song on high,
The Virgin Sings her lullaby;
Joy, Joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
