Road to Purity
Here is a new contemporary hymn celebrating the One who came as a baby to bring the dawn of our salvation.
From the album, “Our Holy Infant King,” a collection of 10 original contemporary Christian Christmas songs, celebrating the wonder and joy of the Incarnation and the power of the Son of God who took on flesh to save us from our sins!
Jesus, Our Sweet Christmas Savior
Sing now with joy for the sweet infant King,
God in the flesh, came to seek and to save.
He is the One for whom angels now sing,
Entered this world as a pure holy slave.
Raise now your voices and lift up your song,
For the Messiah most holy.
Son for the ages for whom we all long,
Jesus so meek and so lowly.
Praise to the Savior who came as a child,
Adam’s dark curse is today reconciled.
New day is dawning, redemption is sealed,
God in the flesh in the baby revealed.
Lion of Judah who came as a lamb,
Coming foretold to our dear Abraham,
Baby and yet, he the wondrous I am,
Jesus, our sweet Christmas Savior.
Born in the manger the baby who cried,
He, who in love on the wooden cross died,
Came for his Church, for his beautiful Bride,
Jesus, our sweet Christmas Savior.
Angels from heaven in power appear,
Sky filled with peace and a wonderful light.
Shepherds astonished and bowing in fear,
Awesome and marvelous heavenly sight.
Warriors now chorus to herald the King,
Sing of the baby’s glory,
Such awesome tidings the messengers bring,
Telling salvation’s story.
Powerful choir with heavenly shout,
Angels dispelling the pain of our doubt.
Quiet night turning to love’s dawning day,
Jesus the life and the truth and the way.
Lion of Judah who came as a lamb,
Coming foretold to our dear Abraham,
Baby and yet, he the wondrous I am,
Jesus, our sweet Christmas Savior.
Born in the manger the baby who cried,
He, who in love on the wooden cross died,
Came for his Church, for his beautiful Bride,
Jesus, our sweet Christmas Savior.
Holy, Holy, glory above,
Peace on the earth to all men of good will.
Here such a holy and precious true love,
Babe in the manger, now resting so still.
Sweet baby Jesus now sleeps in the hay,
Mother now ponders and smiles as she sighs.
Jesus in manhood will travel the way,
Soon from the cross and the grave he will rise.
Such a deep mystery, the Godhead as man,
Sleeps in the manger as heaven now sings.
Word is made flesh, he the heavenly plan,
Innocent child all our hope he now brings.
Lift up your voices and look now with awe,
Quietly resting so still on the straw,
Christ our dear Lord who descended to earth,
We now redeemed by this sweet baby’s birth.
Lion of Judah who came as a lamb,
Coming foretold to our dear Abraham,
Baby and yet, he the wondrous I am,
Jesus, our sweet Christmas Savior.
Born in the manger the baby who cried,
He, who in love on the wooden cross died,
Came for his Church, for his beautiful Bride,
Jesus, our sweet Christmas Savior.
