Musical offering for the ninth day of Christmas | bluebird of bitterness

Musical offering for the ninth day of Christmas

Infant holy, infant lowly,
For his bed a cattle stall;
Oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
Noels ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the babe is Lord of all!
Christ the babe is Lord of all!

Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
Vigil till the morning new;
Saw the glory, heard the story,
Tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
Praises voicing, greet the morrow:
Christ the babe was born for you!
Christ the babe was born for you!

My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

thought for the day

When I was a kid, I could toast a marshmallow over my birthday cake. Now I could roast a turkey.
