HYMN OF GRACE
THE BABE OF BETHLEHEM BEHOLD
(Tune: Joy To The World #87 CM)
Let all the ransomed of the Lord
Lift up their voice and sing!
Come, celebrate with one accord
The birth of Christ our King.
The babe of Bethlehem behold –
Incarnate Deity!
The virgin's child is yet her Lord,
A man, yet God is He!
In swaddling clothes the God-man view!
Do not despise His form.
The woman's Seed shall hell subdue.
That's why this child was born.
The crowded inn, like sinners' breasts
For Jesus had no room.
So in the stable's crib, with beasts,
Is laid the child, God's Son!
God's holy angels fill the skies
And sing Immanuel's praise!
The shepherds and the men called wise
At His feet treasures place.
God in the flesh was manifest;
And He for sin atoned!
Immanuel, God in the flesh,
In heaven is enthroned!
Don Fortner, Pastor
