Christmas is Now Drawing Near at Hand
Christmas is now drawing near at hand
Come serve the lord and be at his command
And God a portion for you will provide
And give a blessing to your soul beside

Down in the garden where flowers grow in ranks
Down on your bended knees and give the lord thanks
Down on your knees and pray both night and day
Leave off your sins and live upright, I pray

So proud and lofty is some sort of sin
Which many take delight and pleasure in
Whose conversation God doth not dislike
And yet he shakes his sword before he strikes

So proud and lofty do some people go
Dressing themselves like players in the show
They patch and paint and dress with idle stuff
As if God had not made them fine enough

Even little children learn to curse and swear
And can’t recite one word of godly prayer
Who’ll teach them better or teach them to rely
On christ the sinner’s friend who reigns on high
