A hidden birth, unnoticed, unseen A shepherd's always with his sleep Augustus on his Roman throne Child of Abraham the wanderer Christmas isn't over yet Day and night, despite the weather Fearful, uncertain From a manger in a stable From the heart of God the Father From the heights of glory God has marvellously come Great God, we need you bursting in Hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah If this is your blessing, then how do you curse? In Bethlehem, with Jesus' birth In the night, the sound of crying Joseph, son of David Light of her life Like a candle in the night Mary, blessed teenage mother Mother of Christ, called from above No gift so wonderful No one can tell what life will bring O timeless and untrammelled Word O West Bank town of Bethlehem Oh, where's he now? One of us, flesh and blood People, look east Should I be angry or should I be sad? Sing with gusto! The promised time arrives We celebrate this special birth We have travelled over mountains When Jesus came from heaven to earth Your promises are coming true
