In the midst of pain and sorrow,
To this world of hate and greed,
Came a King of wondrous glory,
Born of God and David's seed.
Only Shepherds came to greet him,
Only wise men from afar,
Only angels sang his glory,
Only sign was shining star.
Mighty is this gracious Savior,
Come with healing in his wings,
Prince of Peace and Root of Jesse,
Mighty Lord and King of kings.
Only Bethelem, the city,
Only Mary had the babe,
Only Joseph there to help her,
Only us he came to save.
We are called to serve the Savior,
Who has come to bless the earth.
So we come from every station
With the news of Jesus' birth
Only love came down at Christmas,
Only peace, good will to all,
Only joy to every person,
Only us to hear the call.
