O, COME AND GIVE
1. O COME AND GIVE YOUR BRIGHTEST SMILE
AND CELEBRATE WITH ME.
THIS HAPPENED O SO LONG AGO
HE CAME TO SET US FREE.
2. THE STARS SHONE BRIGHT IN BETHLEHEM
UPON THAT FATE-FILLED DAY.
BUT NOWHERE COULD THEY FIND A PLACE
TO REST AND THERE TO STAY.
3. THEY SEARCHED AND SEARCHED BUT ONLY FOUND
A STABLE FOR CHRIST'S BIRTH.
AND IN A MANGER FOR A BED
THE SAVIOUR'S BORN ON EARTH
4.A HOST OF ANGELS SUNG THAT NIGHT
PROCLAIMED A SAVIOUR BORN.
AS GOD OUR LORD HAS SENT TO US
THIS DAY OF HOPE'S NEW DAWN.
5. EMMANUEL MEANS GOD WITH US
AS SHEPHERDS CAME TO SEE.
THE LORD ABOVE REVEALED TO US
SALVATION'S LOVE DECREE.
6. THREE KINGS APPROACHED, THEY BORE THESE GIFTS
GOLD, FANKINCENCE AND MYRRH. .
THESE WISE MEN TRAVELLED FROM THE EAST
WITH TREASURS RICH AND RARE.
7. SO THIS IS WHY WE CELEBRATE
GOD GAVE HIS ONLY SON.
TO SAVE US ALL AND LIVE WITH HIM
THIS WONDROUS THING HE'S DONE.

Author Notes
I wrote this today on a whim, for kid's church, I haven't put music to a poem for some time, not the best song in the world, but reasonably rhythmic, and seasonal, appropriate for this time of the year.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
Thanks for reading. R.Owen
