Carol The Truth from Above from Fantasia on Christmas Carols Ralph Vaughan Williams This is the truth sent from above, The truth of God, the God of love; Therefore don’t turn me from your door, But hearken all, both rich and poor. Then after this, ‘twas God’s own choice To place them both in Paradise, There to remain from evil free Except they ate of such a tree. The first thing, which I do relate, That God at first did man create The next thing, which to you I tell, Woman was made with him to dwell. But they did eat, which was a sin, And thus their ruin did begin; Ruined themselves, both you and me, And all of their posterity. Thus we were heirs to endless woes, Till God the Lord did interpose For so a promise soon did run That He’d redeem us with a Son. Reading Isaiah 9:2, 6–7 P O Lord, have mercy on us.

He has shown strength with his arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has exalted the lowly.
