Text:
O Blessed Virgin, sweet and mild,
Wake from your peaceful sleep, my child,
A message of tidings glad I bring,
Chosen are you to birth a King.
Then in a stable bleak and bare,
The mother bore a child so fair,
Amidst ox and ass a wondrous sight,
On a dark, cold winter's night.
High in the sky a brilliant star,
Over the manger hovering far,
Far up above the glorious babe,
Angels on high all sing his praise,
Let all the Earth and heaven above
Proclaim His name, for He is love!
Make this nativity a prayer,
For everyone on Earth to share,
A child in Bethlehem is born
To conquer death forevermore.
Before the shepherds cold with fright,
Appeared an angel wondrous, bright!
“Fear not!”, he said, “Good news I bring.
To you this day is born the King!”
Gold, myrrh and frankincense,
Brought from the distant orient,
Of ancient reign the wise men three,
Who come to pray on bended knee,
Before the cradle gladly fall,
To worship the king who loves us all.
Since distant times the day foretold,
Written in sacred texts of old,
A Savior to whom all men shall bow
Is come to live among us now.
Amen.
Text by Paul Leavitt.
