Anointed One, Messiah, Lord.
Savior, Christ, Good News, Great Joy,
Eternal God, now dwelling with man.
The Baby of Bethlehem, the Baby of Bethlehem.
Immanuel, the Holy Son, Shepherd, Ruler, Mighty One.
Descended to Earth according to plan,
The Baby of Bethlehem, the Baby of Bethlehem.
With angels we sing Your glory,
With shepherds we give God praise,
With wise men we come before You,
To worship You all our days!
The Word, now flesh, in Him is life.
One and Only Shining Light.
Full of grace and truth, we now understand,
The Baby of Bethlehem, the Baby of Bethlehem.
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace,
Wonderful Counselor, King of Kings.
No end there will be to Your increase,
The Baby of Bethlehem, the Baby of Bethlehem.
With angels we sing Your glory,
With shepherds we give God praise,
With wise men we come before You,
To worship You all our days!
Alpha and Omega, Master and Friend,
All in all, Forgiver of sin,
Creator, Designer, Beginning, and End.
The Baby of Bethlehem, the Baby of Bethlehem.
All glory, honor, blessing, and strength,
Wisdom, power, mercy and grace,
Past, present, future contained in His hands,
The Baby of Bethlehem, the Baby of Bethlehem,
The Baby of Bethlehem.
