2nd Sunday in Advent – (Song – You simple men of hearts sincere)
The second of the hymns from Charles Wesley's "Hymns for the Nativity of our Lord".
Today we have, "You simple men of hearts sincere" which is the first hymn in the original book.
A hymn with the subject of the visitation of the angels to the shepherds. A nice bouncy folk tune to this one reflecting the excitement felt by the shepherds.
As "usual" the original words are in the left column so you can see how I have revised them.
The original tune used for this hymn is DUKE - which we more normally use for the hymn "Jesus shall reign where'er the sun"
Credit again goes to Mr Wesley for his magnificent hymn writing and Suno.com for the wonders of the music generation they have made possible.
I hesitate to claim copyright on these re-writes but under the terms of the Suno licence, the music is owned by me and possibly copyright me. However, copyright is a minefield at the best of times and more so in the A.I. world.
