LYRIC FOR SALE

By katherine appello

There in the fields, so long ago,
As the children played in the chill of day,
A mix of laughter, tears and wonder,
Somewhere in the Heavens,
A Christmas Hymn, Christmas Hymn born to all,

Let us look to the skies and with eyes closed give thanks,
Give thanks for the blessings we have been given,
Even as we pray for others to receive theirs,
Let’s realize what awaits on the 25th of December,
Already the angels preparing, preparing for what?
A Christmas Hymn, Christmas Hymn born to all.

The Magi went in search of The King,
Found a newborn babe in a bed of hay,
Humble parents, the animal keeping the babe warm,
Watching over the King of Kings.
A Christmas Hymn, Christmas Hymn born to all.

Peace on earth, good will to men,"
Ring from angel lips afar,
The angels all sang in beautiful harmony.
That star that Herod so feared, so bright,
That star still gives hope to the wretched
And those seeking to be free, as it sang
A Christmas Hymn, Christmas Hymn born to all,
Yes, A Christmas Hymn, Christmas Hymn born to all.
