Background Music
Author Reading

 1. Joseph and Mary came to Bethlehem
 Shepherds were minding sheep.
 And the Wise Men were scanning the heavens
 The course of "THE STAR" to keep.
 CHORUS
 Christmas Time is here again
 It's the birthday of Our Lord
 He's the Son God gave our souls to save,
 We read it in His Word.
 2.Joy  to all men and Glory on High
 Sang angels in bright array
 But our Saviour had no place to lay His Head
 Just a manger laid with hay
 Chorus:
 3.Praise be to God for His Wondrous Gift to us
 Heaven and Earth Rejoice
 May the blessed Message of Christmas,
 Be sung by ev'ry voice.
 Last Chorus:
 Christmas Time is here again
It's the birthday of Our Lord
He's the Son God gave our souls to save,
Now His message you have heard.

Author Notes
Another of my 'Christian' Christmas Carols I wrote in a University break in 1974. Fanart pic has now gone sadly.

I wrote this Carol out of frustration with the world's view on Christmas. Especially Carols By Candle Light programmes where very little is presented of the true meaning of Christmas. Please be aware that this was written by an Australian so that if you think words don't rhyme in your own local "lingo" that is the reason. As a good friend has said even Shakespeare used 'almost rhymes' in his writings. Thanks to SemiSarah for Mother Cloud picture recently added.
