The Babe in Bethlehem's manger laid

5/18/2008

The Babe in Bethlehem's manger laid
In humble form so low
By wondering angels is surveyed
Through all His times of woe
Noel, Noel
Let us sing of the Saviour's birth
All hail His coming down to earth
Who raises us to Heaven

A Saviour! sinners all around
Sing! spread the wondrous word
Let every one of us hail the sound
A Saviour! Christ the Lord!
Noel, Noel
Let us sing of the Saviour's birth
All hail His coming down to earth
Who raises us to Heaven

For not to sit on David's throne
With worldly pomp and joy
He came for sinners to atone
And Satan to destroy
Noel, Noel
Let us sing of the Saviour's birth
All hail His coming down to earth
Who raises us to Heaven

To preach the word of Life Divine
And feed with living bread
To heal the sick with hand benign
And raise to life the dead
Noel, Noel
Let us sing of the Saviour's birth
All hail His coming down to earth
Who raises us to Heaven

He preached, He suffered, He bled and died
Uplift 'twixt earth and skies
In sinners' stead, He was crucified
For sin, great sacrifice
Noel, Noel
Let us sing of the Saviour's birth
All hail His coming down to earth
Who raises us to Heaven

Well may we sing a Saviour's birth
Who need His grace so given
And hail His coming down to earth
Who raises us to Heaven
Noel, Noel
Let us sing of the Saviour's birth
All hail His coming down to earth
Who raises us to Heaven



And is this the Angel Gabriel that you're referring to?

The Angel Gabriel from Heaven Came
By: Basque carol, para. Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834-1924
The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
With wings as drifted snow, with eyes as flame:
"All hail to thee, O lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favored lady." Gloria!

"For know a blessed mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honor thee;
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,
Most highly favored lady." Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head;
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said.
"My soul shall laud and magnify God’s holy name."
Most highly favored lady." Gloria!

Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn,
And Christian folk through-out the world will ever say:
"Most highly favored lady." Gloria!
