Luke 2: 7
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and
wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a
manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

O Holy Night
The Birth

Caesar Augustus sent out a decree
Prophesy was fulfilled as they came from Galilee
Joseph and Mary her being great with child
Were obedient traveling the miles

The rooms were all full everywhere they went
Again prophesy was fulfilled by this great event
Her baby was born in a stable out back
He was wrapped in swaddling clothes, like an old sack

Away in the distance that clear and starry night
Shepherds tending their sheep were brought to fright
The Lord had sent an angel in a powerful glow
To bring tidings of great joy to the men below

"Be not afraid Jesus Christ is born
The Savior of the world for the lost and forlorn
Go ye now and give Praises to the One
Whom God sent into your world, His Begotten Son"

A multitude of heavenly host with the angel appeared
Giving praise to God the Most High, revered
Singing peace on earth good will toward all men
The Redeemer's born who'll relieve people's sin!

He's a Gift from God's Heart and His Hand
As it was written and as it was planned
From the beginning of time when the earth He formed
He always knew we'd need a way to be transformed
