Summary: The event of Christ’s birth.
Hark, hear the bells a-ringing,
Christmas is here;
Lo, hear the angels singing
As they draw near.
Light from a stable glowing
Steady and warm,
Donkey and oxen lowing,
Safe from all harm.
See in a manger lying
A sweet, holy Child
Wrapped in a blanket, smiling
At His mother mild.
Nearby, a man stands pondering
The miraculous night,
His good heart ever marveling
At this precious sight.
Oh come, souls a-wandering,
Come witness the hour,
See sin dispersing
Before heaven’s power.
Kneel down and gaze with longing
At a sweet Infant face
Aglow with love and sharing
God’s own saving grace.
