A beautiful Christmas hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mary Ann Snowball. 

YouTube video: He Comes Quietly

Text:

From his sphere of glory, Jesus came alone

To the waiting world below, Leaving his own throne.

Bethlehem was busy; Jeering crowds were heard.

Finally, finding solitude, Peace would be assured.

Not in some great palace, Or a country inn,

Nor a hall with finery Would his sole birth win.

He was the Creator Of the earth so fair,

And He could have chosen well Other sites not bare.

Christ fulfilled long-standing Prophecy foretold,

That He would come quietly, His life to unfold.

No great proclamation Uttered from this King

Meant, because He suffered much, Empathy He’d bring.

So He’d know our trials He would have no home.

He would travel with the poor, And our sins He’d own.

Blessed to be his children, Asking tenderly

For his care throughout our lives, He comes quietly.
