Long ago, and oh so far away
Lay a Baby on the hay-
Tiny Son of the most holy One
Has come to visit earth today.
Ever wonder why the host of angels came to earth?
Or why the Shepherds bowed their knees?
Wise men following His special star
Had never given gifts like these.
Come now, let's raise our voices high!
Let's praise the King Who came to live and love and die,
Our Treasure lasts forever more,
And leads us safely home at last to Heaven's shore!
So, hush now, see the little Manger King!
Baby God upon the hay.
It was only for Love from that Great Heart above
We have Christmas today !
It's still the greatest mystery -
A love that never could be measured by degree -
I fall in ashes when I see
What I deserve and yet what Christ has given me!
Oh come! Imagine you're included there -
Touch His little face and see Him smile -
Open your heart, and let's make a new start
Having Christmas this year !
