The Nativity, what a marvelous scene,
Oh, the things it teaches me,
Of our Savior’s birth, why He came to earth,
What He is to those who believe.
When I think of the shepherds out in the field,
It reminds me of our Shepherd too;
He watches His flock, seeks the lost,
And keeps each lamb in His view.
When I think of the Kings who came from the east,
It reminds me of Jesus, our King;
He reigns over all, answers our call,
And gives us every good thing.
When I think of the star that shined so bright,
It reminds me of Jesus, our light;
He lights our path, bears God’s wrath,
And leads us into new life.
The Nativity, what a marvelous scene,
Oh, how it speaks of our Lord;
His miraculous birth, God with us on earth,
The gift of love to the world.

Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. (Luke 2:16)
