A Promise

 

A great promise to the world is born,
A promise for every nation,
For fallen man in all his sin –
A promise of salvation.


Seed of Abraham, Son of Man,
Son of David – King.
Born of a virgin in Bethlehem.
Salvation He will bring.

 

Root of Jesse, Light to all,
“His banner over me is love!”
Redemption for iniquity,
Salvation from above.

 

Lion of Judah, Bread of Life,
A sceptre in His hand.
Ruler over all the world
Salvation for every land.

 

O come, Immanuel – God’s King,
Oh come to crush our sin.
Come, enter into every heart –
Salvation for Your kin.

 

Prince of Peace, Almighty God;
Everlasting Father,
Name above all other names.
Come, all Your people gather.
Sing great praise to the Lord,
Master o’er creation,
One who freely pardons sin,
One who gives salvation
