Christmas Is Now Drawing Near At Hand

Em D Em D Em A Em C Em Em D Christmas is now drawing near at hand Em D Come serve the Lord and be at his command Em D And God a portion for you will provide C Am Em And give a blessing to your soul beside Em D Down in the garden where flowers grow in ranks Em D Down on your bended knees and give the Lord thanks Em D Down on your knees and pray both night and day C Am Em Leave off your sins and live upright, I pray Em D So proud and lofty is some sort of sin Em D Which many take delight and pleasure in Em D Whose conversation God doth not dislike C Am Em And yet He shakes His sword before He strikes Em D So proud and lofty do some people go Em D Dressing themselves like players in the show Em D They patch and paint and dress with idle stuff C Am Em As if God had not made them fine enough Em D Even little children learn to curse and swear Em D And can't recite one word of godly prayer Em D Who'll teach them better or teach them to rely C Am Em On Christ the sinner's friend who reigns on high
