Did you know the Christmas season lasts all the way until Epiphany (Jan 6)? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love this simple, beautiful hymn that speaks of the joy of Christ’s coming and the wonder that he came as a fragile, lowly, human baby, just for us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lyrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Verse 1<\/em>
Infant holy, infant lowly,
for his bed a cattle stall;
oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Swiftly winging angels singing,
bells are ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the child is Lord of all!
Christ the child is Lord of all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 2<\/em>
Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
vigil till the morning new
saw the glory, heard the story,
tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
praises voicing, greet the morrow:
Christ the child was born for you!
Christ the child was born for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
