What's Happened To Techdecklive

O tidings of comfort and joy




A blessed,
gracious and ;
peaceful Christmas
2010!

Light
that night
shine in our and
the hearts of all people:
O tidings of comfort and Joy!



... my favorite Carol ,
the Aeolian tone and with a
genialen   descant in der Finalstrophe:

God rest ye merry, gentlemen, 
Let nothing you dismay, 
For Jesus Christ our Saviour 
Was born upon this day, 
To save us all from Satan's power 
When we were gone astray: 
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
Comfort and joy, 
O tidings of comfort and joy. 

From God our heavenly Father 
A blessed angel came, 
And unto certain shepherds 
Brought tidings of the same, 
How that in Bethlehem was born 
The Son of God by name: 
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
Comfort and joy, 
O tidings of comfort and joy.  

The shepherds at those tidings 
Rejoiced much in mind, 
And left their flocks a-feeding 
In tempest, storm and wind, 
And went to Bethlehem straightway, 
This blessed Babe to find: 
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
Comfort and joy, 
O tidings of comfort and joy.  

But when to Bethlehem they came, 
Whereat this Infant lay, 
They found Him in a manger, 
Where oxen feed on hay; 
His mother Mary kneeling, 
Unto the Lord did pray: 
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
Comfort and joy, 
O tidings of comfort and joy.  

Now to the Lord sing praises, 
All you within this place, 
And with true love and brotherhood 
Each other now embrace; 
This holy tide of Christmas 
All others doth deface: 
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
