Closer, CLOSER, CLOSE

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
When Jesus came the day of birth,
God's incarnation was on Earth!

Emmanual means God with us,
And Jesus means God saves.
He came to save our souls and thus
Defeating death and graves!

That Silent and most Holy Night
Began the end to human plight!
