Introduction

I recently changed the title of this book. These were not meant to take the place of the genuine Christmas Carols.

 

Most of these were written in the mid-1970s during a break in work for my time at Macquarie University, on staff. Macquarie University is much bigger today than it was almost 40 years ago when I wrote most of these songs. It is the second youngest University, located in the City of Ryde in our State of NSW on the East Coast of Australia.

I had felt, for a long time, the need for something pointing to the fact that a lot of so-called "Carols By Candle Light" shows really did not concentrate on what the true message of Christmas actually is.

Hence the inspiration to write the lyrics and compose the music for most of these Christmas theme songs. The only one composed later, is the first one "He Came To Die For You" which was written in 2002.

May your hearts be open to the real message of the time of the coming of our Saviour to the world to save us from our sins. This is and was my total reason for these works of inspiration.
There are four Christmas songs altogether.
