The Christmas Child

The Lord has come

The battle won

O'er death and sin and hell

Their chains are gone

They no more do wrong

He has broken sin's dark spell

The vanquished foe 

Seems not to know

His reign on earth is through

Though he fights on

All was lost anon

As God's Son made His debut

Who'd have thought

What this day brought

In this Child Who in a manger lay?

Here Almighty God

Would walk earth's sod

To reteach mankind His ways

But there was more

That lay in store

For the Babe born in Bethlehem

The Great "I AM"

Revealed His plans

To reclaim all things through Him

So Christ came down

Laid aside His crown

Became flesh on Christmas Day

Fouling Satan's schemes

His Father beamed

As His Lamb accomplished all His way

Though a mere Child

So meek and mild

At least that's what man could see

His story foretold

From ages old

This Child brought certain victory!
