Jesus Christ is Born Today

by Timothy Dudley-Smith, © 2006

1  Jesus Christ is born today,
Every heart its homage pay!
Sovereign Prince of David's line,
Universal King divine!
Songs of glory greet the morn,
     Alleluia, Christ is born!

2  Christ the Lamb of God behold:
He of whom the prophets told,
Royal babe of humble birth,
Infant Judge of all the earth!
Sing of that momentous morn,
Thanking God that Christ is born.

3  In the manger there you lie,
Son of Mary, born to die,
Born for us, to seek and save,
Only Lord of death and grave;
Raised to life on Easter morn:
Night is over! Christ is born!

4  Through your cross are sins forgiven,
Open stands the gate of heaven!
Down the years to you we bring
All our praise, ascended King!
Yours the songs of Christmas morn:
     Alleluia, Christ is born!
