The Coming of Christ
In bitter winter He came
For sweet warmth us to bring
Into the night he was born
For our souls to illumine
In a manger he was placed
For humility us to teach
Into poverty He was set
For the wealth of heavens with us to share
The hatred of the King Herod He confronted
For love in our hearts to instill
In a warring land He marched
For peace on earth to establish
And
He, willingly, Himself sacrificed
For salvation to humanity to grant
For that
Let us all, my friends, sing alleluia
For
Alone in life we walk no more!
