A Christmas Carol linking the #WeStandTogether capaign, the Greater Manchester bees and the Christmas message of Peace on Earth. I am happy for people to use it if they like it, but not for profit. There probably were bees in Bethlehem- honey is mentioned frequently in the Bible.
TUNE: It came
upon the midnight clear
The bees were
there in Bethlehem,
It was not a
land of snow,
A desert land of
milk and honey,
Two thousand
years ago.
We heard the
Angel voices sing
Of peace on
earth,
We buzzed our
joyful song of praise,
When Mary gave
Him birth.
Yet peace on
Earth was hard to find,
As years of war
went by,
But we bees
heard what Jesus said,
Perhaps people
too could try...
To learn to love
each other,
Strangers as
well as friends,
Then peace as
sweet as honey,
Will be yours in
the end.
Stand together
Greater Manchester,
And spread this
message of love,
Peace on the
Earth, good will to all,
Angels sing and
bees still buzz.
Stand together
Greater Manchester,
And spread this
message of love,
Peace on the
Earth, good will to all,
Angels sing and
bees still buzz.
