The Birth

The Birth  

 

Long ago there came to man

One born of virgin birth

Sent to work His Father’s plan

To give us second birth

 

Isaiah saw with his own eyes

Long before His coming

This Son, the Saviour, on the rise

As well, His second coming

            ___________

 

Immanuel, God with us

His name long past announced

When born they called Him Jesus

His name was thus pronounced

 

Gabriel, God’s messenger

Bore from God His news

Suddenly surprising her

T’was Mary God did choose

              _________

 

The wise men found the manger

In which the Christ child lay

Gold and frankincense and myrrh

Our King received that day

 

That Christ was born in Bethlehem

The prophet Micah saw

That Christ would wear the diadem

And now fulfill the law

               _____________

 

The one who would receive Christ

Would thus be born again

In Him God paid the perfect price

To purchase souls of men

 

That Christ would languish on the cross

Forgiveness on his breath

Since Christ has come to save the lost

We’re saved from second death
