Tune: Stille Nacht
(\'Silent Night\')
********
Mary, virgin holy
Mother of our Lord be
As Isaiah\'s prophecy sure
She was favoured for evermore
There that little family
Low at the manger-stall, see
She not just a young maid
But through her was displayed
God\'s power, Jesus He did not
Share sin of human nature\'s lot
Yet full human He be
And too divine fully
God in His plan to man* (*mankind)
Works as only He can
Breaks the human ancestry line
Birth of His Son, it be the sign
That man born from above
May be now, in God\'s love
Our descent natural
It from Adam, Eve all
Since they sinned there, garden Eden
So we did all inherit then
Sinful nature, but see
We can be born again free
