The story of Christmas
Out of darkness, out of night
shines Christ’s everlasting light,
bringing to every man and nation
hope for all, a full salvation.
Let us magnify the story,
radiant in blazoned glory,
of that hallowed Christmas morn
when a baby boy was born.
Earthly minded views are riven,
for God’s Son to us is given.
A prophet of old this foretold:
A Savior would come to earth,
virgin mother giving him birth;
“God with us” he would be styled—
Emmanuel, God’s perfect child.
As the prophet had forecast
so the event came to pass.
To Mary, a maid of Galilee,
came God’s Word, “the Lord is with thee . . .
thou shalt conceive . . . bring forth a son,” Luke 1:28, 31
the Father’s sole begotten one.
God sent His angel this to tell,
the angel that was Gabriel.
