Heaven came down on Christmas day
To give me new hope, to show me the way
To teach me submission, to teach me to pray
To sturdy my heart that wishes to sway
–
King of Kings, Lord God Almighty
Chose a birth so humble and lowly
Mary’s boy, God’s own son
Born of man, the Almighty one
–
Jesus the Christ, Immanuel
He comes to earth, with man to dwell
For sinners like me, for those that rebel
To save from wrath and worm of eternal hell
–
Behold this babe, His hands and feet
His body so frail, his smile so sweet
He will carry my cross, and my sin defeat
His wounds will ransom my heart of deceit
