And Love Was Born

Choir version can be found here.

Gentle lay the mother
of the Babe of Bethlehem;
Softer still the Child,
Who now safely lay within His mother’s arms

Joseph stood beside them,
Thinking this so odd
That this tiny infant
Was the Son of God!

Heaven then was silent,
Angel wings were stilled in awe.
Joseph kissed her forehead,
Mary held the Savior close,

And Love Was Born!
