New Hymn for today : "First Christmas Day"

Regular readers of this Blog will know that I am currently publishing a new hymn of mine every day, and there are now over 100 of my hymns and worship songs on this Blog for you to download both words and sheet music, and hopefully use in your times of worship. That I have been blessed with the ability to write these songs is wonderful, but all of the glory goes to God who created them in the first place. In the main, I regard myself as the Mail-man who delivers them for Him, and to God alone goes the glory. 


My sincerest prayer is that you will receive a blessing as you sing them and that others will be blessed through hearing them.


Today I am posting a hymn for Christmas called First Christmas Day. Soon I shall commence a series of posts comprised of the various Advent and Christmas hymns and carols that I have written, most of which have been published here before, but this time they will be accessible together.

First Christmas Day  CM
TUNE: Nativity
There is a stable in a land,
So very far away,
Where Jesus Christ, our Lord and King,
Was born that holy day.


As Mary gazed upon the child,
Laid in the manger bare,
Her face was filled with grace and love
For the baby lying there.


Now as we worship Jesus Christ,
Hear choirs of angels sing,
‘Hosanna in the highest heaven!’
To glorify the King.


Let us all join our voices now,
With that great heav’nly throng;
Let’s glorify our saving Lord,
And praise Him with our song.


Give praise and thanks for Jesu’s birth,
And with the angels say,
Come, celebrate with praise and joy,
That first great Christmas Day!
