Oh, what mystery, oh, what a love
From heaven to Bethlehem, lavished on us
All who are searching come follow the star
There in the stable the hope of our hearts
Come and see
Christ the King
His Majesty in a manger
Come adore
Christ the Lord
His Majesty in a manger
His Majesty in a manger
He is our ransom and He is our song
Bow down before Him, Messiah has come
All of our longing and all of our fear
Silenced forever, for Jesus is here
Oh come let us adore Him
The Son of God is here
The Promised One, Messiah
The Son of God is here
He is here
