Lo!
Behold!
A child is born.
They call his name
Emanuel.
Which when interpreted
Means God is with us.
Born in the town of Bethlehem,
To mother Mary and father Joseph.
Who gave his name
Jesus.
Three wise men traveled from the east
Bringing treasures for the newborn babe.
Following the brightly shining star in the heavens
Til it came and stood over the baby before them.
They hail his name
King.
Tidings of joy and glory to God in the highest.
And on earth peace and good will toward men.
The glory of the heavens shone resplendent about them
A multitude of the heavenly host chorused their praises.
Singing his name
Lord.
Lo and behold! We bring you tidings of great joy, peace and happiness
As you join family and friends in celebration of the birth of the Christ Child.
Praising his name
Christ Jesus.
Our Saviour
Is born.
God Bless.
