[Verse]
In the fCirst light of a Amnew day no one kFnew he Ghad arriCved
Things conCtinued as they Amhad been while a nFewborn sGoftly cCried
But the hAmeavens wrapped in wGonder knew the mFeaning of his Embirth
In the wAmeakness of a bGaby they knew GFod had cEm7ome to earCth
[Instrumental]
C        F        G        D
[Verse]
As his mDother held him cBmlosely it was hGard to AunderstaDnd
That her bDaby, not yet sBmpeaking, was the wGord of GAod to mDan
He would tBmell them of his kiAngdom but their Ghearts would not bF#melieve
They would hBmate him and in aAnger they would nGail him F#m7to a treeD  
[Instrumental] 
D        G        A        E
[Verse]
But the sEadness would be C#mbroken as the Asong of lBife arEose
And the fEirstborn of cC#mreation would asAcend and taBke his thErone
He had lC#meft it to reBdeem us but beAfore his life beBgan
He knew he?d cC#mome back, not as a baBby, but as the LoArd of evBery maEn
[Verse]
Hear the aEngels as they're C#msinging on the mAorning Bof his bEirth
But how much gEreater will their sC#mong be when he Acomes Bagain, when he Ecomes agaB/D#in
Hear the aEngels as they're C#msinging on the mAorning Bof his bEirth
But how much grC#meater will their soBng be when he coAmes to rBule the   Eearth!
when he cAomes to Brule the Eearth
