THE TIMES ARE CIRCLING DOWN (1987)

​

The times are circling down.

When autumn’s golden voices fade, 

And icy winter’s call is made,

The times are circling down.

​

Poor hearts grow cold within:

Our hope and joy once shining clear

Fall fast away and now we fear—

Poor hearts grow cold within.

​

But God Himself has come! 

The child is born—away with fear!

The light of sun and stars is here.

For God Himself has come!

​

So sing we all Noel!

In manger straw before us laid,

Great God Almighty here displayed—

So Sing we all Noel, sing we all Noel!
