Sweet September
By: Colleen Livingston
The ocean’s shore
A midsummer’s night,
I bid you good tidings
To thee a good night.
Do not fret or worry
Hold dear and hold tight,
I bid you good tidings
To thee a good night.
A manger, no danger
Just solemnly drift,
No worries this evening
The cares all just lift.
A midsummer’s day
Outside looking gray,
No worries tomorrow
Just sunshine at bay.
Awaken the sleepers
No resting the lame
Hark herald! The angels
Now loudly proclaim.
Awaken the heavens!
Come down to the ground,
Igniting the future
A glorious sound.
Open the heavens!
Come down through the gates!
I’ll always be smiling
In this resting place.
Goodbye sweet September
I’m holding you dear,
This time near is coming
Hold tight now this year.
