O How Shall I Keep My Christmas? (EN 3140)

EN 3140 O How Shall I Keep My Christmas?

Matt.22.37

Versi Version 1

1

“O how shall I keep my Christmas?”

My heart whispered softly to me,

For I had been reading the story

Of the Lord’s nativity;

And slowly and clearly before me

The words like pictures rise,

And the scenes appear in the beauty

Of the starry Syrian skies.

2

O cradled He was in a manger!

For lowly and poor was He,

Whose throne is the splendors of heaven

Whose pow’r is infinity;

And He bore His cross to save us,

To save us from death and sin,

And He trod all alone the winepress

To make us pure and clean.

3

In glory the hosts of the angels

Came singing His song of praise,

And filling the heav’ns with their music

In those wonderful old days;

Singing “Glory to God in the highest!”

And “peace upon earth,”

And the mighty chorus of voices

Pealed forth “Good will to all.”

4

“O how shall I keep my Christmas?”

As they keep it in heaven above;

O keep it with peace and thanksgiving,

And kindliest deed of love;

And share with the poor and needy

The joys which the Lord gives thee;

And thy heart shall keep with the angels

The Lord’s nativity.
