about

Luke 2:1-7

lyrics

In the days of Caesar, he sent a decree
To register all people by each family
Men by their forefathers, drawn back to their towns
People of the kingdom counted by their crown

Behold, Immanuel is come, Incarnate God is formed
For the one who knows all men, Jesus, is born

Joseph, in obedience, went from Nazareth south
To Bethlehem he headed, one from David’s house
Peasant his appearance, kingly though his line
Humble-hearted pilgrim, loving still his bride

Behold, Immanuel is come, Incarnate God is formed
For the Promised Prince of old, Jesus is born

Reaching David’s city, pain bade Mary cry
For shelter, help, and comfort, space to bear her child
But no one offered mercy; inns all shut their door
So tired mother Mary gave birth on stable floor

Behold, Immanuel is come, Incarnate God is formed
For the Christ, the Son of God, Jesus is born

Savior learned obedience, Father led His Child
To bear His people’s burden, climb a cross and die
But Death is not His master: life sprang from His grave
Now Jesus lives forever and will return one day.

Behold, Immanuel will come, Incarnate God and Lord
For the one who comes by faith, in Jesus is born
