Somebody commented , kindly, on a video I posted on Youtube.
These are the English words of a carol originally written in Manx gaelic:
Oikan Anys Bethlehem
Now let us keep this feast,
And keep it with pure hearts,
In remembrance of Jesus Christ:
Baby in Bethlehem.
He left the courts of his Father,
Taking on our human form,
Born of a pure maiden:
Baby in Bethlehem.
The angels of heaven were glad,
And came with news to us,
Telling of the Saviour born today:
Baby in Bethlehem.
Is it not great the meekness
Which was in Christ the Lamb?
When He took on a servant’s form:
Baby in Bethlehem.
Glory up to God above,
Who rules in happiness.
Goodwill of God is shown to us:
Baby in Bethlehem.
I hope that helps.

This does help. And I will try this blogging myself. Yet another way to get sucked into the electronic ether. Will I actually have time left over for learning to sing this song? I wonder.
