Behold a Miracle

Linda sent me this Christmas poem. I devised the melody which should work for a choir to sing. Many thanks to my mother, Patsy Stevens, for creating the piano score (and playing it in the recording) and to Susan Tolle-Knight for singing our song so beautifully. - Elton November 15, 1997

This song is part of our Christmas play, The Perfect Gift.

Lyrics

* * * * * * Bells * * * * * *

Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!
All of heaven came to sing
Behold a miracle
in the town of Bethlehem
with a star shining overhead
and God smiling down on us
Behold a miracle
spread the news across the land
Come and worship the newborn child
as all creation sings
Behold a miracle
for unto you is born a King

* * * * * * Bells * * * * * *

Oh, you shepherds in the fields
Listen as the angels sing
Joyful news about the Christ child
Behold your new born King
Follow close the brightest star
On this glorious Christmas night
And you will find the Savior
Beneath its shining light

Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!
All of heaven came to sing
Behold a miracle
in the town of Bethlehem
with a star shining overhead
and God smiling down on us
Behold a miracle
spread the news across the land
Come and worship the newborn child
as all creation sings
Behold a miracle
for unto you is born a King

* * * * * * Bells * * * * * *

Rosemary (Halifax UK)2012-12-30what a fabulous song - part of the choir's contribution for the candlelight carol service. a little hint - if you're using the lovely full instrumental backing - the last phrase ('unto you/us is born') repeats 3 times.Now I'm looking on the website for Easter
