Hallelujah

'Hallelujah' by Martyn Kelly

by Martyn Kelly 23rd December 2016

A meditation on Christmas, set to the metre of the late Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’

There is a story very old
about some shepherds in the cold
who say they saw an angelic host before them.
The angels told them of a birth
that God had come to visit Earth
then their choir started singing ‘Hallelujah’.
