Baby born one day:
Lamb of God, salvation’s Way:
Son of God, whose words we should obey.

Spirit holy, formed Christ’s body,
so prepared the Sacrifice.

Growing human child:
guiltless, spotless, undefiled:
enemies would soon be reconciled.

Angels singing, message bringing:
gracious Word for all mankind.

Jesus Christ now King.
We, his gospel word must bring:
Come, be contrite, he can pardon sin.

Tune of ‘Tua Bethlem dref’
As it is set to an old Welsh Carol Tune, I have attempted to sing it again:

Hi Rhiannon

It was important for me to hear this song, as I couldn't get the feel of a melody from just reading the words. But once the haunting melody gets put to the words, it is a lovely piece. And your voice is very clear and sweet.

Thank you, Jean. My voice isn't so strong, but I'm glad the melody came over, it is a fondly remembered melody from my childhood. Rhiannon
