Birth of Christ
While the earth was bathed with a heavenly light,
The angels in heaven so softly did sing
Of the birth of a new born Savior and king,
Unto you this glad day a Savior is born,
God's gift from heaven for all men to see,
Brought love peace and pardon to set the world free.
With the spirit of giving was born on that day
God's own dear Son so precious and pure,
With peace and good will that will always endure,
Led by the rays of a bright shining star.
Precious gifts they brought there to lay
At the feet of their King who was born on that day,
The angels still sing the glad news o'er and o'er.
All nations will pause their homage to pay
To our glorious king who was born on this day,
He came and dwelt with the poorest on earth,
His glory, the greatest, His love will not cease,
He will reign here forever, our great Prince of Peace.
The gift that He gave us did not go away,
Precious Gift, blessed Giver, we praise and adore,
Our love and our peace is with Thee ever more.
