His Name is Jesus There was a Child, "a gentle Lamb," Born one night in Bethlehem, And the precious little Boy Filled so many hearts with joy - For He was sent by God above To shower mankind with His love, And to free the world of sin, And teach lost souls to hope again. He's been with us all these years To help us through life's trials and fears. He is our strength, our Guiding Light, His name is Jesus, and we know, Though born so very long ago, Each year in a special way We honor Him on Christmas Day.

Soft lambs and sheep beside Him stayed, Warm shields from chilling, cold winds made, Wise Men and shepherds traveled afar, Guided by rays of gold-gleaming Star. Heralding angels chorused in flight The gladness of what glorious night, Rich gifts in praise were brought to greet The sacred Christ Child, small and sweet. A brilliant, bright halo encircled above The cradled dear Baby, God's gift of love, The hopes for joy and peace were born, Our wondrous gift that first Christmas morn.
