As a holiday present, I offer a set of lyrics for a Christmas carol I'm working on. This is the first verse and chorus - other verses may follow. The tentative title is 'Mary's Boy'. The tune is the old French carol 'Il est Ne, le Divin Enfant':
Underneath him a bed of hay,
All around him the angels lullaby;
High above him a single star
Points the way in the midnight sky.
Who is he that is born today,
In a stable for humble animals?
He is Jesus, Mary's boy,
Man and God, our Emmanuel.
From our family to all of yours, may you have a happy and blessed Christmas, and much joy in the New Year!
