Verse 1:
D Em D/F# G A
Joy has dawned upon the world,
Bm Em7 D/A A
Promised from creation:
D Em D/F# G A
God's salvation now unfurled,
Bm G A D
Hope for every nation.
D/F# G D/F# Em7 A
Not with fanfares from above,
Bm Em7 D/A A
Not with scenes of glory,
D Em D/F# G A
But a humble gift of love:
Bm7 Em7 A D
Jesus born of Mary.
Verse 2:
Sounds of wonder fill the sky
With the songs of angels,
As the mighty Prince of Life
Shelters in a stable.
Hands that set each star in place,
Shaped the earth in darkness,
Cling now to a mother's breast,
Vulnerable and helpless.
Verse 3:
Shepherds bow before the Lamb,
Gazing at the glory;
Gifts of men from distant lands
Prophesy the story.
Gold, a King is born today,
Incense, God is with us,
Myrrh, His death will make a way,
And by His blood He'll win us.
Verse 4:
Son of Adam, Son of heaven,
Given as a ransom,
Reconciling God and man,
Christ our mighty Champion!
What a Saviour, what a Friend,
What a glorious mystery:
Once a babe in Bethlehem,
Now the Lord of history.
