Sunday's Hymn
Saturday, December 11, 2010 at 7:26PM Gentle Mary laid her Child lowly in a manger;
There He lay, the undefiled, to the world a Stranger:
Such a Babe in such a place, can He be the Savior?
Ask the saved of all the race who have found His favor.
Angels sang about His birth; wise men sought and found Him;
Heaven’s star shone brightly forth, glory all around Him:
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight, heard the angels singing;
All the plains were lit that night, all the hills were ringing.
Gentle Mary laid her Child lowly in a manger;
He is still the undefiled, but no more a stranger:
Son of God, of humble birth, beautiful the story;
Praise His Name in all the earth, hail the King of glory!
Don’t miss this piano solo by a nine-year-old girl; keep watching all the way through.

A very beautifully worded poem for this time of year and as for the piano tune, I've heard "IT" said in so many words not to let the left and/or right hand know what each are doing but in this case I can't help but think that her spiritual left and right hand are in charge in reality.
Does that make any sense?
Merry Christmas
Lovely hymn. I'm always amazed at such musical ability by one so young!
Awesome!
