Here's an ADVENT Hymn for you to sing

I have been gifted with many new ADVENT HYMNS over the last two years. Here are the words to one of them which are sung to the Tune DENNIS, which you'll find in the Mission Praise Hymnal, number 60. Why not make it part of your Christmas Worship?

The Infant Christ
Tune: Dennis

Worship the infant Christ
Asleep in manger bare;
The Son of God, come down to earth,
His glory shining there.

Then Mary, looking down,
At Jesus where He lay,
Saw all the angel promised her
Asleep on bed of hay.

She shed a tear of joy,
For Jesus lying there;
She placed a kiss upon His head,
The world her joy to share.

God’s love complete in Him,
Is there for us to find,
He is our Saviour and our Lord,
Our souls He’ll care and mind.

So may we ever praise,
With heart and voice and soul,
The blessed Saviour of the world,
Who came to make us whole.

Now, as we gaze on Him,
In that manger crude and bare,
Our voices we will lift in praise
Of the Christ-child lying there!


All I ask, if you sing this in your Worship Service, is that you report its use to CCLI in the normal way, as all of my hymns are licenced by them.
