YouTube video: A Babe in Bethlehem Born, sacred choral

Text:
How did a babe of Bethlehem born so grow to be King of Kings?

How could one small infant inspire the whole world, and turn life from desert to springs?

Angels rejoiced in the heavens at His Holy birth.

Sing peace now throughout all of the earth.

 

Cries of new life were heard in the night as life is brought forth in pain.

He one day would suffer the pains of all men and cry out to save them again.

Angels rejoiced in the heavens at His Holy birth.

Sing peace now throughout all of the earth.

 

Humbly the child, though royal His line, was laid down on manger stone,

As one day on stone He again would be lain, to rise and ascend to His throne.

Angels rejoiced in the heavens at His Holy birth.

Sing peace now throughout all of the earth.

 

Swaddled and cradled in mother's arms, the babe was received in love.

One day He'll return with His arms open wide, receiving the righteous above.

Angels rejoiced in the heavens at His Holy birth.

We'll praise Him throughout all of the earth.
