The Birth of the Bethlehem Babe
Immanuel the God child born to be
on His mission sent from heaven above
to be the saviour of this sinful world
showing truly that God is full of love
But think and ponder for a moment
what if Jesus the babe had not come
to leave us in our sinful rebellion
then our future would be indeed glum!
Nothing but God's wrath would await
an eternity of darkness always for ever
what foreboding gloom to think upon
the light of God's love would be never
But God intervened showing His great mercy
to bring the birth of the Bethlehem babe
all our thanksgiving belong to a loving God
for the gift of His son who came to save
