The Eve Of Christmas


(author unknown)

L-awtur ta’ din il-poezija jishaq li l-IMHABBA vera hija dik li taghmilna ahwa kif ghallimha l-Imghallem taghna Gesu’


Two thousand years have almost gone by

Since Jesus was nailed on a cross to die

His teachings were done by words and deed

And thousand would listen, and thousands would heed. 


The words of His wisdom, and that of God

As many miles on foot would he trod

Let Peace be on earth, would be His command,

And nothing less than this should we demand! 


On the Eve of His birth let us all be blessed

And thank our God as we see the end of our quest.

Let us all stand together, as brother and friend

And pledge our love, and respect to a world without end. 

Together we stand, in joy and in sorrow

and praise the birth of Jesus with the light of tomorrow!
