Classic Poem

Angels from the long ago
Told the old, old story
Of a Saviour come to earth
From the realms of glory.

What a message they proclaimed,
Angel hosts so bright,
As the shepherds on the hills
Watched their flocks by night.

Unto you a child is born,
Unto you is given,
Emmanuel, the Son of God,
The Lord Himself, from heaven.

See the gift of God's own love,
Go ye to the manger,
He, who left His home above,
Is to you no stranger.

Ye who sit in darkness, look,
For the Light now shineth,
He will great deliverance give you
From the chains that bindeth.

Love eternal, never dying,
Ransoms from the grave,
Souls in conflict, burdened, sighing,
Jesus came to save.
