about

The Christmas Story -- the birth of Christ on a cold and lonely night, visited by the Magi, and celebrated throughout history.

lyrics

PROMISED SON (Susan Bailey) (© 2000 Susan W. Bailey)

A cold, dark night, a glistening star shining bright from afar
Upon the man whose wife would soon
Bear a child from her womb

In poverty, in a manger stall no one came to help at all
The cold, dark night felt colder still
From hearts so hard, and lack of good will

And here was born the promised Son
Jesus Christ, the Holy One

The pain was great, her labor long
She wondered how she could be strong
Yet in her heart she felt no fear
For the child would soon appear

Onto the straw which made his bed
His mother laid His precious head
The fragile babe was heard to cry
She held Him closely to her side

And here was born the promised Son
Jesus Christ, the Holy One

Glory to our God for His Son has come down
Made the least of all that the poor and just be found

The shepherds came there to adore
The tiny baby which she had bore
And three great kings did humbly kneel
Their wonder they could not conceal

This tender child, the promised Son
Jesus Christ, the Holy One
