This Christmastide
(D. Fraser/J. McCulloch)

Green and silver, red and gold
And a story born of old.
Truth and love and hope abide,
This Christmastide, this Christmastide.   

Holly, ivy, mistletoe
And the gently falling snow.
Truth and love and hope abide,
This Christmastide, this Christmastide.   

From a simple ox’s stall,
Came the greates gift of all.
Truth and love and hope abide,
This Christmastide, this Christmastide.  

 Chrildren sing of peace and joy,
At the birth of one small boy.
Truth and love and hope abide,
This Christmastide, this Christmastide.   

Let the bells ring, loud and clear,
Ring out now for all to hear,
Truth and love and hope abide,
This Christmastide, this Christmastide.   

Trumpets sound and voices raise,
In an endless stream of praise,
Truth and love and hope abide,
This Christmastide, this Christmastide.   

Green and silver, red and gold,
And a story born of old.
Truth and love and hope abide,
This Christmastide, this Christmastide.

This beautiful Christmassong I love very much. One of my favorite CD’s during Christmas is "Christmastide" with Jessye Norman and this is the song which gave the CD its name. It has a wonderful text and a beautiful melody. I also have to mention Jessye Norman’s great and wonderful voice - to hear her sing is like a dream :o)  

 Denne vakre julesangen er jeg veldig glad i. En av mine favoritt CD’er i julen er "Christmastide" med Jessye Norman hvor dette er tittelsporet. Sangen har en vakker tekst og en nydelig melodi. Jeg må også nevne Jessye Normans utrolig vakre stemme - å høre henne synge er som en drøm :o)
