Babe in a Manger - Christmas Carol
New Christmas Carol by Roy Daniel written to the Tune of ‘Be Thou My Vision’ / Tune Name ‘Slane’
Ang-els were sing-ing “No-el” up a-bove,
Shep-herds were told of God’s peace and great love.
Wise kings came search-ing, They saw a great star,
Babe in a man-ger, The Rul-er of all.
Child in a man-ger, both God, Man and King,
Sent with the pur-pose: to die for my sin.
Hands of a ba-by That one day would be
Pierc-éd on Cal-va-ry, Nailed to a tree.
Ri-sen in po-wer, the stone rolled a-way.
Ascend-ed to glo-ry, He’s com-ing a-gain!
While we are wait-ing, live for the King.
Babe in a man-ger His prais-es we sing!
One day in glo-ry Christ Je-sus will be
High King of Hea-ven for e-ter-ni-ty.
Shout hal-le-lu-jah in His Ho-ly name!
Wor-ship for-e-ver Beth-le-hem’s Babe.
