| Stand Up and Sing! | |

It's that time of the year, and Radio Merseyside is once again challenging wannabee songwriters to come up with an original Christmas Carol! My "Country Carol" didn't win last year, I'm hoping for better luck this time with the following. Written in ♪6/8♪ time [à la 'Viennese Waltz'], it has 4 bars in the first half and 5 bars in the second .... but it works!! Stand Up and Sing! 1. Stand up and sing to the baby King, Angels above shower their love While shepherds adore him wise men kneel before him And so we sing: “Stand Up and Sing” 2. Stand up and Praise! This glorious day, Let all have their fill of joy and goodwill The Saviour’s birth brings peace to the earth And so we say: “Stand up and Praise” 3. Stand up and Sign and you will find During this verse God’s love you can hear, perfectly clear it would be preferable Making a beautiful noise as its voice for someone to Sign! Aims for the skies: “Stand Up and Sign” 4. Stand up and “whisper” – now it is Christmas! This verse should begin Silent the night: stars burning bright as a spoken “whisper” Proudly we join our hands in friendship and then increase steadily Loudly we sing: “Stand Up and Sing” from pp < fff at end 5. Repeat v.1
