Holy One, Our Everything

Long ago Messiah came tiny babe with Holy Name. Born a lamb of Bethlehem Promise of redemption’s plan. Sinless one, He died for sin. God in flesh, He rose again! Ascended One enthroned above, bids His followers to love. Let the great glad tidings ring, Christ will soon return as king! Finally our Lord will reign, ridding earth of death and pain. Glorified in robes of white, His radiance dispels the night. All knees will bow and tongues confess He is Lord and nothing less! Holy hands to Him we raise! All creation, give Him praise! Holy One, our everything! Jesus Christ the Lord and King! December 8, 2021 A Christmas Carol Contest Regina McIntosh, sponsor * sung to the tune of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing"
