Lowly in a manger he lay
No headlines proclaiming the day,
Known only by
Those who have seen the signs
Which heralded across the sky
Tonight is born a king

Leaving behind his stately palace,
Becoming one of lowly status,
Though lowly, he shook the world
Wise men fell to their knees

This my Lord and Saviour
Lying in the cradle below
This child of promise
Fulfilling all prophecies
All Heaven proclaims boldly
This child is born a King

This child foretold by prophets
His birthplace was known
With no royal proclamation
Animals kept his company
Here lies the Messiah
He came here just for me

This Christmas night he bids me
To do one thing for him
Help another soul that’s searching
Find His peace within
And proclaim to all that listen
Christ is born, a King
