Christmas Is Now Drawing Near at Hand Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em][D][Em][D][Em][A]
[Em][C][Em]
Christmas is now drawing near at [D]hand
[Em]Come serve the Lord and
be at His [D]command
[Em]And God a portion for you will[D] provide
And give a blessing [C]to
your [Am]soul be[Em]side

[Verse 2]
Down in the garden where flowers [D]grow in
ranks
[Em]Down on your bended knees
and give the [D]Lord thanks
[Em]Down on your knees and pray both
night [D]and day
Leave off your [C]sins and
live up[Am]right, I [Em]pray

[Verse 3]
So [Em]proud and lofty is some sort [D]of sin
[Em]Which many take delight and pleasure in[D]
[Em]Whose conversation
God doth much [D]dislike
And yet He shakes [C]His sword
before [Am]He st[Em]rikes

[Verse 4]
So proud and lofty do some
people [D]go
[Em]Dressing themselves like players
in the [D]show[Bm][D]
[Em]They patch and paint and
dress with idle [D]stuff
As if God [C]had not made
them fine [Am]enough[Em]

[Verse 5]
Even little children learn to curse and [D]swear
[Em]And can't recite one
word of Godly [D]prayer
[Em]Oh, teach them better,
oh, teach them [D]to rely
On Christ the [C]sinner's friend,
[Am]who reigns on high
