Jesus

one night long ago
to Bethlehem town
Jesus, God's son
from heaven came down

born in a stable
where cattle do stay
laid in a manger
a bed of sweet hay

no one could guess
that from such lowly birth
earth God would bless
to life give new worth

how could anyone tell
this babe newly born
would save us from hell
on some far distant morn

but when on that day
he died on the hill
with his blood he did pay
our heavenly bill

his Father looked on
from heaven above
and said it is done
then bent down in love

to embrace his dear Son
and those he died for
who accept that dear one
heaven's true door
