What child is this who laid to rest. On Mary’s lap is sleeping. Whom angels greet with anthems sweet. While shepherds watch is keeping.
This, this is Christ the King. Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. Haste, haste to bring him, Lord. The babe, the son of Mary.
Why lies He in such mean estate? Where ox and ass are feeding. Good Christians, fear, for sinners here. The silent word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, the cross be borne for me, for you. Hail, hail the Word made flesh. The babe, the son of Mary.
So bring him incense, gold and myrrh. Come peasant, king to own Him. The King of kings salvation brings. Let loving heart enthrone him.
Raise, raise a song on high. The virgin sings her lullaby. Joy, joy for Christ is born. The babe, the son of Mary.
Christmas Prayer; My dear Lord, I come before you this Christmas Season. I am a sinner and broken. I humbly bow before you and ask for the most beautiful gift ever offered, and that is the gift of life through your son. I ask you, Lord Jesus, to come into my heart. Fill me full of your light and love. Forgive me of my sins and teach me to walk in and with you every day on this earth and eternity with you in Heaven. Father God, I recognize the sacrificial gift you made for us. It wasn’t wrapped in sparkling gold paper adorned with a big red bow. It was the gift of your son’s blood that washes us clean. Thank you for your love and all the daily blessings you bestow that half the time I don’t even notice. Help me to notice. In your glorious name, I pray, Amen.
If you just prayed this prayer, welcome to the family. God’s family, I think you’ll like it here. Go out and be blessed and be a blessing, and thank you as always for joining me. 🥰
