COME THOU LONG EXPECTED BARGAIN

 

Come, thou long expected bargain!

On your shelf for me to see!

Advent's here, it’s time for shopping,

Please reveal yourself to me.

Advent? No - such sentimental

Thoughts and seasons must decease.

This is now a time for selling,

So our profits can increase.

Tie it in with things like Kwanza,

Hanukkah, all things with lights.

Snowmen, tinsel, snow-clad grottoes

Must become the High Street sights.

Sound our music, worship snowbells,

Let the children dance and play.

Let’s forget the Church’s season,

In our retail holiday!

 

Tune:  John Stainer Cross of Jesus 8787
