Long ago a child was born
His mother chaste and pure
He held a love the world had lost
His heart would bring its cure
The prophets had foreseen this One
The Light of love reborn
And all who kept the vigil knew
A promise was forsworn
This One would be a Kingly man
No jewels or gold need He
But Love and Peace and Gentleness
His throne would oversee
Into our world the Prince of Peace
Made entrance from the sphere
Where Angels’ voices still create
The Gloria atmosphere
So ‘Christ on High Messiah reigns’
The Angels all do sing
And Mary Queen of Heaven hails
Hosanna to our King
