Title: Christmas Is Now Drawing Near
Gm
Christmas is now drawing near at hand
Come serve the Lord and be at His command
Bb Eb
And God a portion for you will provide
Gm
And give a blessing to your soul besides
Gm
Down in the garden where flowers grow in ranks
Down on your bended knees and give the Lord thanks
Bb Eb
Down on your knees and pray both night and day
Gm
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
Bb Eb
Whose conversation God doth much dislike
Gm
And yet He shakes His sword before He strikes
So proud and lofty do some people go
Dressing themselves like players in the show
Bb Eb
They patch and paint and dress with idle stuff
Gm
As if God had not made them fine enough
Even little children learn to curse and swear
And can't rehearse one word of godly prayer
Bb Eb
Oh teach them better, oh teach them to rely
Gm
On Christ the sinner's friend who reigns on high
