HURRAY HURRAY HURRAH
By Singing Francine

For unto us a Child was born
For unto us an ever-loving Son
Like a thief in the night
He shown His light
For He meant no harm
He came to save us from damnation

Hurray, hurray, hurrah! Hurrah, hurrah! they say
Our Saviour is born today!
In swaddling clothes He lie
While the shepherds cry
For they just couldn't believe dey eyes
And when He come a Man
You know dem non-Christians
Get together and pound nails in He hand
But on the third day, He rose again
So you see, He shed His blood for we.

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la Ayeee!!

A Child of joy, a Man who toiled
Who for our sins, the Saviour fought and win
See Him healing the sick, helping the poor
And things like leprosy, you know our Saviour cure?

Hurray, hurray, hurrah! Hurrah, hurrah! they say
Our Savior is born today!
In swaddling clothes He lie
While the shepherds cry
For they just couldn't believe dey eyes
And when He come a Man
You know dem non-Christians
Get together and pound nails in He hand
But on the third day, He rose again
So you see, He shed His blood for we.

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la Ayeee!!

He was conceived, so said and done
All Three in One, a truly blessed Son
He displayed His own skill and Father's will
So when we are at fault, we know that He love us still.

Hurray, hurray hurrah! Hurrah, hurrah! they say
Our Saviour is born today!
In swaddling clothes He lie
While the shepherds cry
For they just couldn't believe dey eyes
And when He come a Man
You know dem non-Christians
Get together and pound nails in He hand
But on the third day, He rose again
So you see, He shed His blood for we.

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la Ayeee!!

The Good Book say, the time is now
The signs are here, all should kneel in prayer
Let take Him at His word, the Master say
The time to start is now, beginning on Christmas day

Hurray, hurray, hurrah! Hurrah, hurrah! they say
Our Saviour is born today!
In swaddling clothes He lie
While the shepherds cry
For they just couldn't believe dey eyes
And when He come a Man
You know dem non-Christians
Get together and pound nails in He hand
But on the third day, He rose again
So you see, He shed His blood for we. Ayeee!

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la Ayeee!!

A Note From The Gull


Thank you Singing Francine.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!

The missing words in the chorus are: "In swaddling clothes he lie" and it continues with ".....shepherds CRY" in the dialect to rhyme with 'lie'


In the last verse, the missing words are: "Let's TAKE HIM at His word..."
