Long, long ago
In a faraway land
to the humans below
the Father reached out His hand
A baby was born
God’s only Son
In humble surroundings
yes, here was the One
The Messiah, the Savior
The plan was in motion
To provide a way of salvation
Most people hadn’t a notion
For He was quietly born
that night long ago
The angels pronounced it
To the shepherds below
And God placed a star
far up in the sky
The wisemen, they followed
Did they truly know why?
Long, long ago
Jesus came to the earth
And the world was never the same
After His holy birth
