|
Joy has dawned upon the world |
|
Promised from creation |
|
God's salvation now unfurled |
|
Hope for every nation |
|
Not with fanfares from above |
|
Not with scenes of glory |
|
But a humble gift of love |
|
Jesus born of Mary |
|
Sounds of wonder fill the sky |
|
With the songs of angels |
|
As the mighty Prince of Life |
|
Shelters in a stable |
|
Hands that set each star in place |
|
Shaped the earth in darkness |
|
Cling now to a mother's breast |
|
Vuln'rable and helpless |
|
Shepherds bow before the Lamb |
|
Gazing at the glory |
|
Gifts of men from distant lands |
|
Prophesy the story |
|
Gold, a King is born today |
|
Incense, God is with us |
|
Myrrh, His death will make a way |
|
And by His blood He'll win us |
|
Son of Adam, Son of Heaven |
|
Given as a ransom |
|
Reconciling God and man |
|
Christ, the mighty champion |
|
What a Savior, what a friend |
|
What a glorious mystery |
|
Once a babe in Bethlehem |
|
Now the Lord of history |
