On Bethlehem’s hills, so calm and still, beneath the sky’s embrace,
A star arose, its golden light illuminating grace.
The weary earth, in shadows bound, awaited Heaven’s plan,
And in a manger, love was born, God’s gift to every man.
Within a stable, dark and bare, the King of kings was placed,
No crown adorned His infant head, no grandeur framed His face.
The cries of one so meek and pure would pierce the silent air,
A promise of redemption’s light, a love beyond compare.
The wise men saw that guiding star and traveled far and wide,
With gifts of gold, and precious balm, and myrrh they knelt beside.
A King, a Priest, a Sacrifice—their offerings did proclaim,
The world would know salvation’s hope, through one eternal name.
The angels filled the skies with song, a chorus pure and bright,
“Rejoice, for Christ the Savior’s born this holy, wondrous night!
Glory to God in heaven above, let peace on earth now reign,
For Heaven’s gift has come to us, to heal the world’s deep pain.”
The child grew strong, His words would heal, His touch the blind would feel,
He calmed the storms, forgave the lost, and proved God’s love is real.
The leper’s cry, the sinner’s plea—He answered every call,
And through His acts of boundless grace, He offered life to all.
Yet darkness came; the cross was raised to mark the cruelest day,
Upon that hill, He bore the weight of sin He’d take away.
“Forgive them, Father,” was His prayer, as nails His flesh did bind,
For through His pain, the gates of hope were opened to mankind.
The tomb could never hold His light; the stone was rolled aside,
And on the third day, Christ arose, forever glorified.
He broke the chains of death and sin; His triumph now complete,
And all will bow before His name and worship at His feet.
This Christmas morn, we lift our hearts in gratitude and song,
For Christ was born to bring us home, to where we all belong.
Through trials faced and paths unknown, His love will light the way,
For Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, is with us every day.
