Christmas Is Now Drawing Near At Hand Lyrics - Steve Winwood

Christmas is now drawing near at hand 

Come serve the Lord and be at his command 

And God a portion for you will provide 

And give a blessing to your soul beside 

Down in the garden where flowers grow in ranks 

Down on your bended knees and give the Lord thanks 

Down on your knees and pray both night and day 

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 

Whose conversation God doth not dislike 

And yet He shakes His sword before He strikes 

So proud and lofty do some people go 

Dressing themselves like players in the show 

They patch and paint and dress with idle stuff 

As if God had not made them fine enough

Even little children learn to curse and swear 

And can't recite one word of godly prayer 

Who'll teach them better or teach them to rely 

On Christ the sinner's friend who reigns on high
