Deep in the prophet's sacred page, ground in the poet's winged word Slowly in time from age to age, nations beheld their coming Lord Till through the deep Judean night, Rang out the song "Goodwill to men!" Hymned by the firstborn sons of light, re-echoed now, goodwill amen Born to reign in us forever, born a child and yet a king Born His people to deliver, let us all in anthem sing Hallelujah, the Messiah has come That life of truth, Those deeds of love, that death of pain mid hate and scorn These all our past and now above, He reigns our King once crowned with thorns To Him who sits upon the throne, the Lamb once slain for sinful man Be honor and might all by Him won, glory and praise, amen, amen Born to reign in us forever, born a child and yet a king Born His people to deliver, let us all in anthem sing Hallelujah, the Messiah has come O God of God, O Light of Light, Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of Kings To Thee where angels know no night, the song of praise forever reigns Born to reign in us forever, born a child and yet a king Born His people to deliver, let us all in anthem sing Born to reign in us forever, born a child and yet a king Born His people to deliver, let us all in anthem sing Hallelujah, the Messiah has come
