Child in the Manger

Hymn: Mary MacDonald; Fred Bock,
Traditional Gaelic melody (from Ireland)

Child in the manger, Infant of Mary,
Outcast and stranger, Lord of all;
Child who inherits all our transgressions,
All our demerits on Him fall.

Once the most holy Child of salvation
gently and lowly lived below;
Now as our glorious mighty Redeemer,
See Him victorious o'er each foe.

Prophets foretold Him, infant of wonder,
Angels behold Him on His throne;
Worthy our Savior of all our praises;
Happy forever are His own.

~ This depicts the true reason for celebrating Christmas.
Christmas is best celebrated with a thankfulness for the
love of a Mighty God who sent us his only Son, Jesus.
Thank Heaven for Jesus!
...And Merry Christmas!
