Holidays

The human heart, entrapped in night,
In sin’s dread grasp, no hope of light.
Sovereign grace stooped down to free
Those in sin’s captivity.

He came upon a midnight clear,
The Son of God, to drive out fear.
Laid in a straw-filled manger low,
So life of God we could know.

Oh, tiny town of Bethlehem,
The Prince of Peace is here.
To drive out night and give us light,
God in flesh is near.

Hark how the herald angel seeks
To lift our eyes from strife.
He bids us keep this Babe asleep
As light of hope and life.
________________________________

Away in the manger, sweet Jesus rests,
This given Lamb of God,
Who on Calvary will die for me
To cleanse me with His blood.

Moved by mercy, moved by love,
The King of Glory came
To cast out sin and enter in
And take away my shame.
