Years ago a child was born;
’Twas a bright celestial morn
When the shepherds sought the Child
Guarded by a virgin mild
Cradled on her heart of love
Watched by angels from above.
Wondrous mission had the Child
’Mid the shades of earth beguiled;
Whispered He of peace and love
Taught the Father’s power to move
All things to His holy will
Bidding discord’s waves be still.
Quietly He walked abroad
Strewing blessings where He trod;
’Mid the haunts of fear and wrong
Seeing only truth’s fair form;
Healing
blessing all the way
Thus He went from day to day.
Lingered by the bed of pain
Raised the dead to life again;
Made all burdens roll away
Cast out demons by the way;
Healed the blind in every throng
Taught forgiveness of all wrong.
Knowing naught of space or time
Knowing well that life divine
Shines in every human heart;
Still He bore the human part
Living like the Son of Man
Loving only as God can.
Suddenly He went away
From the world He loved so well
Promising to come again
Evermore with us to dwell.
All who will
behold Him now
before Him bow.
Jesus Christ has come again
Saving truth has come to men;
Angels
chant your hymns of praise
Sons of men
your voices raise;
Shout the tidings far and near
Christ
the blessèd truth
is here.
