Christmas

The Holy Birth

A Virgin, who brought forth a child,
A Virgin, one so meek, so mild.
It comes to pass - The Holy Birth,
The Spirit which would dwell on earth!
A little child, and yet a king…
To all the world, His blessings bring.
As men of old this story tell,
Within the heart, true peace would dwell.
For tho’ the years would pass away,
The Triune God, would surely stay.
His light would shine, would not be dimmed,
And all the world would bow to Him.
The kings on earth would bend the knee,
And shepherds’ homage gratefully.
For not on earth one greater dwells,
Than this our Lord, Emmanuel!
He, beginning, He, the end.
Peace on earth, His message sends.
A Royal Birth, God’s holy will,
To live the promise -
Now fulfilled!
