2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
Had Christ not come that Christmas Eve
Himself with men to dwell
All would e lost, no hope – no light
He darkness to dispel.
No Saviour and no sacrifice
To pay the price of sin,
No precious blood to cleanse my heart
And keep me pure within,
No righteousness except my own –
No pardon I could claim,
No avenue of prayer to God
Through Jesus’ Mighty Name!
No comfort in my deepest need
No lamp to light my way,
No One to understand and care
To keep me day by day.
No hope, no peace, no Advocate
To intercede for me,
And what of Satan’s subtle snares –
Would I have victory?
No grace of God, no mercy shown
No love to warm my soul,
No Heaven, no crown, no Christ to meet,
No purpose and no goal.
O world of misery and woe
What deep and dark despair –
Had God not sent His Only Son
Our sin and shame to bear.
But Christ HAS come – O Glorious Day,
That Babe in swaddling dress
Grew up to be my Saviour Lord,
My Hope and Righteousness!
