Born A Babe

Tune: Sussex Carol

('On Christmas night all Christians sing')

Matthew 1 v.20-23

********

The angel of the Lord did say

To Joseph, Now fear not today

The angel of the Lord did say

To Joseph, Now fear not today

Take Mary to wife, begotten

Of the Spirit is her child, son

 

For she shall sure bring forth a Son

To be called JESUS, He the One

For she shall sure bring forth a Son

To be called JESUS, He the One

Saviour sent forth from God to earth

Making possible man's new birth

 

Shall save His people from theirs sins

Forgive, make them all clean within

Shall save His people from theirs sins

Forgive, make them all clean within

As spoken by prophet of old

Now let the good tidings be told

 

Isaiah said, a virgin shall

Bring forth a son, we know it well

Isaiah said, a virgin shall

Bring forth a son, we know it well

Shall call His name Emmanuel

God with us, rings through hill and dale

              Sweet baby Jesus, memories of the manger under the Christmas Tree when I was a little girl, midnight mass and the choir singing O Little Town of Bethlehem, it all comes rushing back. Thank you Orchi, beautiful. A very Happy & Blessed Christmas to you!

                    A question intrigues me at the moment, if Mary was a virgin was she raped by the angel?

                      Thanks Gold. No - it says the power of God, the power of His Spirit overshadowed her, making the pregnancy possible. Then it goes on to say 'With God nothing shall be impossible'.
