I've finally done that. I've written a new Christmas carol.

Angels announced the Savior’s birth
to shepherds in the field,
“This day you’ll find in David’s town
the Lord of Heaven come near.”

Lord of Heaven, come.

to shepherds in the field.
Magi came from the east to find
the one the star announced
bringing gifts and worshipping
the Lord of Heaven come near.

The arrangement I've posted has one verse as a introduction, the four verses for singing, and then a final instrumental verse. I'll post the sheet music for it tomorrow. Feel free to download it and to use it for yourself or your church.
And, please remember the Salvation Army during this time. This is our biggest fundraising event. You can give at the kettles or with a check in the mail or by using this virtual kettle. Thank you very much.
