Wicked!!! This very incredible and special Christmas song. Shirley is great singer. Her singing like angels singing.❤️

This is almost too good to be true. Imagine a cold night near Christmas and a bunch of villagers going from door to door with this song. Shirley as ever is excellent - sister Dolly's contribution on portative organ (both as arranger and player) is superb. It's so sad that Dolly died too young; I was lucky enough to see the sisters perform live a few times, and it's something I'll never forget. Like seeing mediaeval stained glass come to life.

My heart stopped. It is still hard to breathe.
Just awesome!

The moon shines bright and the stars give a light
In a little while it will be day
Our Lord, our God, He calls upon us all
And bids us: Awake and pray
So dear, so dear Christ loved us
And for our sins got slain
I'd have you to leave all your wicked, wicked ways
And turn to the Lord again
For the life of a man, it is but a span
And he flourishes like a flower
For he's here today, tomorrow he's gone
And dead all in an hour
Now the clock strikes one, it's time we were gone
No longer to tarry here
God bless you all, both great and small
And send you a happy New Year
