A Tolkien-esque Carol

The following is a bit of a Christmas carol by yours truly with some words and meter borrowed from Prof. J.R.R. Tolkien. Merry Christmas! 





Home is behind, the world ahead
and there are many paths to tread 
through desert, under yonder star 
until it settles where You are 
Christ and Savior, Lord and King 
gifts we bring, gifts we bring. 

Gold and myrrh and frankincense
on camel backs we travel hence 
until completed is our quest 
and God provides a place to rest
Palace gate or stable door 
and then no more, and then no more.
