HE HAS COME

Jesus came to visit once again
in a manger dark, obscure,
not as a king, but as a babe
so innocent and pure.

The angels trumpeted the news
o’er all the countryside,
to shepherds poor, who watched their sheep
and drew them to His side.

They knelt in adoration
as they gazed in wonderment,
at the Saviour who was born that day
and was from heaven, sent.

In their simpleness they knew
of what had come to pass,
they worshipped His perfection
the Prince of Peace had come at last.

Oh the joy to gaze upon
this pure and Holy Child,
to know the Light had come to be
the source of Love, all meek and mild.

Oh Lord I pray that all mankind
will one day come to see,
that His Love is for all people
His Love will set us free.
