The Babe of
Bethlehem Behold
Don Fortner
(Tune: Joy To The World #87 CM)
Let all the ransomed
of the Lord
Lift up their voice and sing!
Come, celebrate with one
accord
The birth of Christ our King.
The babe of Bethlehem behold
-
Incarnate Deity!
The virgin’s child is yet her
Lord,
A man, yet God is He!
</P>
In swaddling clothes
the God-man view!
Do not despise His form.
The woman’s Seed shall hell
subdue.
That’s why this child was
born.
The crowded inn,
like sinners’ breasts
For Jesus had no room.
So in the stable’s crib, with
beasts,
Is laid the child, God’s Son!
God’s holy angels
fill the skies
And sing Immanuel’s praise!
The shepherds and the men
called wise
At His feet treasures place.
God in the flesh was manifest;
And He for sin atoned!
Immanuel, God in the flesh,
In heaven is enthroned!
