HE CAME AND THEY WERE BLESSED
Unto us a child was born, unto us a Son was given;
Yes, unto us that glorious morn, such news was sent from highest heaven!
Unto us God’s holy Lamb appeared in lowly guise,
While shepherds watched beside their flocks, Heaven’s praises filled those skies.
“Unto us,” What can this mean, that such a one should come,
And in a stable crude be seen, a King without a home?
Unto us heaven’s message came – “Glad tidings of great joy!” –
This Holy One, with glorious Name, could be no earth-bound boy.
And so with wonder, awe and bliss, the wise and humble sought
For One unique, who planning this, our great salvation brought.
Yes, unto us such gifts He gave, as Light and Life and Love,
And took us from a sinner’s grave, to dwell with Him above.
Let’s sing His praise throughout our days, and worship Him forever,
Extolling all His glorious ways, this blessed heavenly Giver.
