Blessed Be

Once upon a twilight
So long ago
God sent an angel
to the earth below.
The angel brought a message
Of tidings so sure
Of the coming Savior
so sweet and so pure.
Chorus:
Blessed be the Child
For this amazing grace
For the world to look upon
His angelic face.
The child was wrapped in sackcloth
A hay-trough His bed
The little boy Jesus
Lay down His sweet head.
The shepherds gave Him tokens
Befitting a King
And as the heavens gathered
The angels did sing.
Chorus again.
Musical bridge- 16 measures
Blessed be the world
He came to save from sin
Bless His holy name
Praise and worship Him.
From the word that told
So very long ago
The entrance of the Christ -child
Whom all the world would know.
Chorus
