Jesus, Our Lord and King

Jesus is coming!
The time is drawing near.
Let us open our hearts,
To welcome Him.

Jesus comes in the silence
To our Bethlehem town.
He comes to a manger so lowly,
Wearing a King’s crown.

Jesus is not of this world.
The angels proclaim,
Singing Gloria in the highest,
To our newborn King.

Jesus brings glad tidings,
And peace to all men.
He is our Savior,
Our Lord and our King.
Let us welcome Him!
