Hymn Text

1 A birth, it is a glorious thing, A gift from God, the heavens ring.
But in this world so marred by sin, A birth can evil stoke within.
So was the birth of Christ our Lord, Who was by heav'n and some adored
He was a threat, one to be killed, No matter what the blood it spilled.

2 But God forewarned the upright man, A step in God's eternal plan.
The baby would to manhood grow, The Lord to save the world we know.
But on this day we must recall The little ones who gave their all.
The evil spent it's mortal blow, But unrelenting, grace will flow.
