A Message from Our Father

A mes­sage from our Fa­ther

From yon­der home of light

Angelic hosts are bring­ing

On this most glo­ri­ous night;

Bethlehem’s star is glow­ing

Most ra­di­ant­ly on high

While songs of ex­ul­ta­tion

Re-echo through the sky.

Peace on earth

good will to men

And to the Sav­ior glo­ry;

For He is born in Beth­le­hem

Bright an­gels tell the sto­ry;

Let us with joy­ful hearts re­ply

Sweet Je­su

we ad­ore Thee!

We seek the low­ly sta­ble

Led by the ang­els fair

For Christ

the Son of Ma­ry

Is hum­bly cra­dled there;

With cher­ubs watch­ing o’er Him

And ser­aphs throng­ing round;

O enter in with ho­ly joy!

That place is hal­lowed ground.

With she­pherds poor and low­ly

Our in­fant God we greet;

We of­fer soul and bo­dy

In hom­age at His feet;

He li­eth in the man­ger

Who rules the worlds on high;

O migh­ty God

we bless Thee

We own Thy ma­jes­ty!

Hail

sweet and pre­cious Sav­ior

Now born to set us free!

Hail

love­ly Rose of Sha­ron

All glo­ry be to Thee!

Hail

great­er Son of Da­vid

Our Fa­ther’s gift of love!

We bless

ad­ore and praise Thee

O Day­star from ab­ove!

With Christ­mas be­ne­dict­ion

Fill eve­ry soul

O Lord!

Desire of all the na­tions

Our blest

in­car­nate God!

A mes­sage from our Fa­ther

Sweet an­gel voic­es bring;

Light up with joy the ta­pers

Let ev­ery church bell ring!
