"For unto us a Child is born."  Oh, words beyond compare!
What Child is this Whose baby face reflects such glories rare!
The heavenly hosts announce His birth and shepherds haste to fall
In wonder, love, and praise before this precious Babe so small.
   And wise men traverse desert sands
   With costly presents in their hands
For Him Whose human form enfolds the greatest Gift of all.

And "unto us a Son is given" from heavenly courts above.
He laid aside His glories fair to show His Father's love.
The human tongue can form the words; the mind cannot embrace
The message they express, the sovereign plan of saving grace.
   How wondrous was His coming then.
   How glorious when He comes again.
And, saved for all eternity, we'll see Him face to face!
