Christ Is Born

Christ is born this day with Bethlehem's poor. So unassuming, he enters our world with shepherds lowly coming to adore this infant Lord who will freedom herald. Christ is born this day with Bethlehem's poor. His star in the east did the magi see. A star never seen from the days of yore led them to this great child of low degree. Christ is born this day with Bethlehem's poor. His birth this day is marked by angels bright. Singing with cymbals in a placid night, they ushered in peace from heaven's great door. Christ is born this day with Bethlehem's poor. As foretold by the prophets and the law, He is born of a virgin chaste and meek. He will never loudly on the streets speak. Christ is born this day with Bethlehem's poor. He is lowly with royal ancestry, born of David's revered noble gentry. Men's grievous sins His blue blood atoned for. Christ is born this day with Bethlehem's poor. He came to earth with men to empathize. With us for each state he does sympathize. Our peace with God He came down to restore. Christ is born this day with Bethlehem's poor. A unifying force who will world peace make. Men of different races sing to adore this Christ child who will their cleavages break. Christ was numbered with the poor at birth, and with the transgressors at death.
