A hymn for Christmas Come and sit upon a hillside New Hymns and Songs from the Music Resource Group 1
Come and sit upon a hillside, See the sleeping town below. Round the camp fire, in the moonlight, Hear the tales of long ago. How a people watched and waited, Longing for the promised King, And the freedom and the justice, That his powerful reign would bring. New Hymns and Songs from the Music Resource Group 2
Suddenly the stars shine brighter, Music fills the cold, night air. Shepherds fearful, awe-struck, wonder, At eternity they stare. Heaven’s riotous with rejoicing, Singing of a Saviour’s birth, Seek him in a lowly manger; God in man is found on earth! New Hymns and Songs from the Music Resource Group 3
Shepherds hurry down the hillside, Led by hope, they know not where. In an outhouse, find a baby Swaddled in his mother’s care. Prophet voices find fulfilment Grateful shepherds glimpse God’s way, Gifting to all people, all ways, Power of Love for each new day. © Avis Palmer Tune: SCARLET RIBBONS New Hymns and Songs from the Music Resource Group 4
