Manger Born

Sometimes, I wonder what songs angels sang

On the night of the Nativity of our Lord.

If only we could have the rhythm revamped.

But as is the lot of antiquity, the notes are lost

Still it won’t hurt to think about it,

And it feels right to try for a remix.

Who penned the words that thro the ages ring?

And who set the everlasting piece to music,

Straight inspired poor modifications still bend men’s knees?

Who mastered the tug that pulls our heartstrings?

Who else but The King Himself, the manger-born?

What Poet so flawless but the Lord of all?
