New Welsh Carol
December 21, 2006
Our own Derek Thomas and Dr. Paul Jones (an Alliance Council member who serves organist and music director at Philadelphia's Tenth Presbyterian Church) have collaborated on a new Christmas carol. The full text and music will be posted soon, but here is the opening stanza:
Not in regal robes of grandeur,
brightly shining wreaths of gold;
lowly flesh His form most humble,
veiling brilliance--His from old;
Look! The newborn King of Glory,
grace and mercy we behold!
I am hopeful that when he returns from his travels, Derek will kindly write a few lines about how he wrote the new carol.
Not in regal robes of grandeur,
