There was no greater gift that God
Could mercif'ly bestow,
For in his Son he gave His all
To sinners here below

There was no humbler place to be
That first great Christmas morn,
For midst the donkeys, fodder, food,
The King of Kings was born.

Emmanuel - miracle of time,
Eternity below
That God should step into the world
The Human frailties know.

There was no great gift that God
In mercy could bestow
For in His Son He gave His all
To sinners here below.
