1. A messenger named Gabriel
came to the land of Israel;
and he proclaimed that Mary’s son
was God’s messiah, holy One.
O Jesus Christ, strong Son of God,
once born for us at Bethlehem:
we listen to the angel’s song
and worship you for ever.
2. Angelic hosts of God most high
with radiant glory fill the sky;
enraptured voices joyful sing
to welcome Christ, the new born King.
O Jesus Christ…
3. In awesome fear and bitter cold
the shepherds huddle in their fold;
then since the message is for them
they make their way to Bethlehem.
O Jesus Christ..
4. Within the sacred stable shrine
they see the holy child divine;
the manger stands amidst the straw
and humble fold their God adore.
O Jesus Christ…
5. Since then have passed two
thousand years
of human misery and tears;
yet Christ alone can bring release:
he loves us still – the prince of
peace.
O Jesus Christ…
-M. J. Walker
