Paper 122 – Birth and Infancy of Jesus 🎶 Song: The Child of Light (Verse 1 – Aurora) Chosen land, a humble place, Joseph’s hands and Mary’s grace. Prepared in faith, their hearts aligned, For heaven’s gift to all mankind. (Verse 2 – Announcement) Gabriel spoke, the promise near, Elizabeth’s joy, a voice sincere. Mary received the holy call, To bear the Savior for us all. (Verse 3 – Joseph’s Dream) In visions clear, the truth was shown, A child of promise, heaven’s own. Joseph believed, his heart at rest, God’s plan fulfilled, the home was blessed. (Chorus – Birth) On August twenty-first, at noon, In Bethlehem beneath the sun. Christ Michael came, the child of light, Religion born, a flame so bright. (Verse 4 – Journey) Through Nazareth’s stone and carpenter’s trade, A faithful home where prayers were made. They traveled south, the census called, In Bethlehem, the child enthralled. (Verse 5 – Infancy of Jesus) Circumcised, his name was known, Joshua, Jesus, heaven’s own. In Nazarene home, with love and care, A child of promise nurtured there. (Bridge – Truth) No star above, no myth to claim, But angels sang in God’s own name. Three wise men came by dreams that night, To honor earth’s new child of light. (Verse 6 – Parents’ Traits) From Joseph’s calm, a gentle hand, From Mary’s strength, a heart to stand. In him both virtues intertwined, The Son of Man, the Son divine. (Verse 7 – Invisible Praise) Seraphim sang, unseen by men, A hymn of joy beyond their ken. The heavens hailed the holy birth, God’s gift of love to all the earth. (Chorus – Birth) On August twenty-first, at noon, In Bethlehem beneath the sun. Christ Michael came, the child of light, Religion born, a flame so bright. (Outro – Kingdom) The nations rise, the empires fall, The Spirit whispers through it all. The kingdom lives inside the heart, Where love and faith will never part.
