Unto Us a Boy Is Born

Unto us a boy is born

King of all cre­ation:

Came He to world for­lorn

Lord of ev­ery na­tion.

Cradled in a stall was He

’Midst the cows and ass­es;

But the ve­ry beasts could see

He all men sur­pass­es.

Herod then with fear was filled:

A prince

he said

in Jew­ry!

All the li­ttle boys he killed

At Beth­l’em in his fu­ry.

Now may Ma­ry’s son

who came

Long ago to love us

Lead us all with hearts aflame

To the joys ab­ove us.

Alpha and Ome­ga He!

Let the or­gan thun­der

While the choir with peals of glee

Rends the air asun­der.
