In
a manger lies The King
Wrapped
in swaddling clothes
In
a city named from above
The
city of David a Saviour is born
In
a manger lies The Saviour
Within
the stable a chosen family
To
a dying world The Light has shone
From
The Refiner a rare refine
To
a crooked generation hope is here
In
a manger lies The Purifier
Oh!
What depth of love
From
glory to a manger
From
majestic grandeur, ineffable
To
a stable unfit undesirable
In
a manger lies The Lowly
In
a stable with no light
But
a lantern to see him The Light
Bright
enough to see his smiles
Speaking
smiles reaching the heart
With
words so audible, words of life
In
a manger lies The Light
Peace
to earth, goodwill to men
I’m
here The Saviour come out of your den
I
am the way back to The Father’s embrace
My
passionate plea do not decline
In
a manger lies The Way
Joy
to the world The King is come
The
heavenly host in symphonic praise
Heralding
the birth of the Blessed One
With
joy unspeakable full of glory
In
a manger lies The King of kings
He
came He gave He offered
His
works left the world in awe
That
a King could come simply to die
For
mankind that we might be saved
The
wretched soul is The Light raised
The
Ancient Of Days In Infant Skin!
I
know words can’t be enough to express or appreciate your coming even eternity
won’t do, so I say again - Thank you Merciful Saviour. Thank you Jesus for
coming!
Merry
Christmas!
