Jesus Christ is born this day
The light of the world, the truth and the way.
For unto us is born a king
And he will be our everything.

Wonderful shall be His name
And He will set hearts aflame
The everlasting Father, the mighty God
Emmanuel with staff and rod.

Into the world comes a shining light,
Angels behold the glorious sight.
Good news and glad tidings He does bring
The Saviour of the world is born a King.

Babe in a manger a child is born
Comes a new awakening, a bright new dawn.
The glory of heaven fills the earth
To acclaim this son of a virgin birth.

The king of love, what joy He brings
Lord of lords, and king of kings,
Wonder of wonders, Jesus his name
Forever and ever He shall reign.

This story is old yet ever new
The light of life shining through
Lamb of God born to be slain
But now risen Lord and He's coming again.
