Merry Christmas!
Jesus was born David Jenkins
Jesus was born in a stable so poor: there was no room at the inn.
Wise men and shepherds travelled to bring
Gifts to the heavenly King.
Chorus
Jesus was born in our hearts when we swore
love and devotion to him.
we’re making the room for him to bloom;
Showing his rivals the door.
Jesus was living a life full of giving: healing the broken and poor.
Until your sin and mine killed the Divine
On Calvary’s hill so forlorn.
Jesus was rising, a thing so surprising that no-one believed it at all.
Back from the dead, he appeared to his friends,
Functioning body and all.
Jesus is with us, not just at Christmas:
Filling the world with his love.
Calling our name, taking our shame,
Saving all those who will come.

O come let us adore Him
On this bright and beautiful day, a child is born
Puer natus, sum laetatus, in hac die gaudiosa,
dies splendens et formosa.
Veni nunc ad redimendum, e rosarum rosa natus,
in presepio beatus. O caelorum imperator, sol justitiae vocaris,
natus es e stella maris.
Clavis David qui aperis, veni nunc desideratus,
miserorum memoratus.
Nostre vitae fons et aqua, dulcis infans et creator,
nobis lumen et salvator.
On this bright and beautiful day,
A child is born, and I rejoice on this joyful day,
a bright and beautiful day.
Come now to redeem, O child born of the rose of roses,
blessed in the manger.
O ruler of the heavens, called the sun of justice,
you were born of the star of the sea.
Key of David to open, come now O long-desired,
mindful of the wretched.
Fountain and water of our life, sweet child and creator,
our light and saviour.
