Enter the stone-walled building where the floors are worn by feet

where loving true believers have sewn cushions for your seat

acknowledge the friends and neighbours, nods and smiles and waves

a bow for the man-made altar, for the presence of He who saves

Sing with a loud voice rejoicing that the birth of the babe is near

swell with pride as the children sing with voices loud and clear

feel the bumps of joyous arousal as the choir sings silent night

then it’s home for a toddy and mince pie with Christmas day in sight
