The Night Christ Was Born
The sun was set and it was late
Within the manger Mary lay in wait
The pangs of birth
now reach their crest
Then comes forth humanity’s Best
A cry is heard to breathe the air
The foreshadowing of a life to bear
The Saviour of the world has
come
To show
GOD’S character that all should become
Along side the Babe are the beasts in there
Pondering
in their hearts what life is here
More blessed than men were the beasts that night
For the LORD of heaven
was in their sight
The shepherds came as soon as they heard
The angels sing of the Messiah’s birth
High overhead did the angels shine
As a star in
the sky, t’was GOD’S design
Far away in the eastern land
The wise men see the star of Bethlehem
The other stars move while this one
is still
“What
star is this?” fills their hearts and will
The reason for the star they search for the key
To know what great event they
are blessed to see
They
turn to the LORD and read His Book
To the book of Numbers they seek and look
Lo, and behold, the verse is found
The prophecy of Christ Who will soon be crowned
King of the Jews and of every man
Who follow His way to Heaven’s Land
