Liland, I will grab him later this evening if I can.I think I would set up that OBC melody and these words like this:
The Christ-child lay on Mary's lap,
His hair was like a light.
O weary, weary were the world,
But here is all aright.
CHO:
O weary, weary were the world,
But here is all aright.
Tho weary, weary were the world,
Yet here is all aright!
It's such a pretty melody. I would do the chorus leader-response style, the people responding as indicated by the italics.
On a Saturday evening in Christmastide. *G*
By the third verse it would become all unison, with our people. They'll try anything new!
