Babe of Bethlehem

orchidee



Tune: Carol (Willis)

('It came upon the midnight clear')

Micah 5 v.2-5

**********

Micah, prophet of Bethlehem

Did speak, from thence would stem

A ruler who in Israel

Would reign, let all tongues tell

Though little town midst many towns

On you God has no frowns

For He shall come, the promised one

Jesus the Father's Son

 

He shall stand and feed in the strength

Of he Lord, e'en at length

In the majesty of His God

Earthly path shall be trod

For He shall be great over all

Welcome who on Him call

He shall make peace 'tween God and man

Peace as no other can

 

Lord, help us trust, for prophesied

It cannot be denied

That your Son born in a town small

Manger did not appal

For it sufficed His birth lowly

Light of the world we see

Shine through all darkness, Lord we pray

'Til dawns eternal day
