Over two thousand years ago

OVER TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO,
under a starlit sky,
many events were taking place
as the ancients had prophesied.

And a gift was given from heaven to earth,
the everlasting light.
So let us adore the Saviour born,
Immanuel, here tonight.

2 Heavenly hosts of angels,
praising God on high,
sang of the promised child to come,
the Saviour Jesus Christ.

And a gift was given…

3 Darkness was over Bethlehem,
brightly the star did shine,
showing the way to where he lay
in a manger for all to find.

And a gift was given…

4 Never before in history
had there been such a sign,
for God was born in human form
for the sake of all mankind.

And a gift was given from heaven to earth,
the everlasting light.
So let us adore the Saviour born,
Immanuel, here tonight.
So let us adore him, Christ the Lord,
Immanuel, here tonight!
