Thousands of years ago,

Revealed by prophets of the past,

Under the dark and starry night,

Emmanuel was born at last.

Covered in His swaddling clothes,

Honor was given to the newborn King,

Representing peace and goodwill to all men,

It’s because of Him that the angels did sing.

Sent by King Herod to find Him,

Three wise men were led by a star,

Myrrh, gold and frankincense were given,

As gifts from the men from afar.

Standing in awe at the manger,

Magi worshipped and gave praise joyfully,

Eventually this child would grow older,

And give His life for you and for me.

Now as we set apart a special day of the year,

In remembrance for all who believe,

Never forget why our Father did send Him,

God’s gift is the greatest we’ll ever receive.
