Oh infant Jesus, Son of our Lord

Who spreads special Love and widely adored

You brightened the world on the day of your birth

And many years later saved people on earth

 

Many people had seen and followed the star

They came from all over, some travelled afar

All came to praise You – the young, the old

Some came with gifts, like frankincense and gold

 

All those who looked in the manger and saw

The little Lord Jesus were filled with great awe

The Blessed Mother Mary gave birth to God’s Son

And St Joseph raised him as God would have done

 

As He lay sleeping in His small bed of hay

The people all rejoiced, “He has come!” Praise the day!”

The shepherds, the angels and the wise men of three

All came to gaze on the Saviour to be

 

No one came to the infant yet knew

All the wonderful miracles this child would do

He would heal the sick and give hope to the poor

He would give all He had to his people and more

 

“The Light of the world, the Saviour is here!”

He will teach us and guide us and we’ll have no fear

He will give us a message, the Word from above

And that message is simple, the message is LOVE

 

Far up in Heaven, the joy of Christ rang

The angels were smiling and happy souls sang

“Come, hear the Good News”, they said with great joy

“Praise our dear Lord and His new baby boy.”

 

God gave Him a message, His one only Son

To save all his people to make them as one

He was sent down to help us and show us the way

So we may be part of God’s Kingdom someday

 

The infant Jesus came as God’s eternal Light

A Light that shines forever, so clear and bright

I will follow that Light till the end of my days

I will worship my God and give Him my praise

 

I celebrate His birthday at Christmas each year

A day that fill people with laughter and cheer

The presents don’t matter but I know what does

My Jesus, who will be, is reward, who was
