The Greatest
Gift
In the hush
of the desert night
a prophecy
was fulfilled,
for a child
was born in Bethlehem;
his love would
change the world.
And this night
was like no other,
for all the
angels sang:
Rejoice! the
king of heaven
is born to
man this day.
From the east
the magi sought Him,
to behold
the savior's birth;
guided by
a celestial light,
offering frankincense
and myrrh.
King and shepherd
knelt before Him,
as they watched
him where he lay,
sheltered
by his Mother's side
on a bed of
golden hay.
All praised
Him in his glory,
for this miracle
foretold;
His love would
be the greatest gift
that man would
ever know.
