Verse 1:
D                    Em    A            D
Gathered ‘round Your table on this holy eve,
Bm                  Em     A7             D
Viewing Bethl’hem’s stable we rejoice and grieve.
D              Em    A              Bm
Joy to see You lying in Your manger bed;
G               Em    A             D
Weep to see You dying in our sinful stead.

Verse 2:
D                Em      A                 D
Prince of Glory, gracing Heav’n ere time began
Bm           Em       A7             D
Now for us embracing death as Son of Man
D                Em     A               Bm
By Your birth so lowly, by Your love so true,
G                  Em    A                D
By Your cross most holy, Lord, we worship You.

Verse 3:
D               Em      A                 D
Behl’hem’s Incarnation, Calv’ry’s bitter cross,
Bm                Em     A7               D
Wrought for us salvation by Your pain and loss
D              Em      A            Bm
Now we fall before You in this holy place;
G             Em    A                    D
Prostrate we adore You for Your gift of grace

Verse 4:
D                Em     A            D
With profoundest wonder we Your body take
Bm             Em       A7             D
Laid in manger younder, broken for our sake.
D            Em     A               Bm
Hushed in adoration we approach the cup;
G                 Em       A              D
Bethl’hem’s pure oblation  freely offered up.

Verse 5:
D                 Em      A                 D
Christmas babe so tender, Lamb who bore our blame,
Bm                Em     A7               D
How shall sinners render praises due Your name?
D                Em       A                Bm
Do Your own good pleasure in the lives we bring;
G                Em       A             D
In Your ransomed treasure reign forever King!
