Christ Has Come
Isaiah said the Christ to come would be Immanuel,
God with us, and Gabriel would soon to Joseph tell
That Jesus would we call Him; he told Mary as well
From Bethlehem, His place of birth, Micah indicated
The ruler of Israel, the King anticipated
Was sought by wise men and by Herod hated
The Magi saw the wondrous star to follow from the East
They travelled far across terrain, their journey not the least
Bringing gold and frankincense and myrrh – their gifts released
A righteous branch said Jeremiah, in wisdom will He reign
From the tribe of Judah, of blood from David’s vein
Though men will cry: Crucify! He’ll die and rise again
As horn of our salvation and known as Nazarene
Miracles he did perform, the likes of which unseen
He walked the waves of Galilee and made the lepers clean
The angels to the shepherds gave a glorious demonstration
Announcing Christ God’s Son had come to save from every nation
That all who would believe in Him from Him receive salvation
