Christmas Carol 2022
| Metre: 66 66 + refrain |
There’s a truth beyond all
Which we’re challenged to see
In the presence of God
Born as Mary’s baby.
In the hearts of our lives
And the midst of this earth
Comes the glory of God,
Meets us all in his birth.
This life and his name
Which we’re given this day
Is Christ Jesus the Lord
Through whom we can pray,
In the world of today
There is pain and disease
Which shatters our hopes,
Brings us down on our knees.
As we battle with wars
And injustice’ cruel blight
God shares in our troubles
As our friend born this night.
A new door has opened
Through which we have passed
God lives in our journey
All fears now outcast.
Our thanks and our praises
For immeasurable joy:
The hope of all ages
Born a vulnerable boy.
