Mary struggled in childbirth's plight,
Throughout that long and weary night; ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
Then suddenly, a heav'nly light,
And Jesus Christ was born! ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
Angels announced that blessed birth, ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
A Savior now had come to earth! ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
No one but God knew that child's worth, ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
When Jesus Christ was born! ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
Bringing us salvation He came, ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
Bearing himself all mankind's shame, ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
And lives never would be the same, ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
Since Jesus Christ was born! ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
Though crucified at Calvary, ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
From death's dark grip, he was set free; ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
God gave Him the sweet victory, ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
And Jesus Christ arose! ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
He arose, after He was slain,
A conqueror o'er death and pain; ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
Eternally now He will reign,
Yes, Jesus Christ is King! ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
He gave His life for you and me, ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
To heaven's gates, He holds the key; ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
From condemnation now I'm free, ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
'Cause Jesus Christ is King! ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
Since I took Jesus at His word,
Inviting Him to be my Lord, ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
Heaven will be my sweet reward, ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
Where Jesus Christ is King! ![](http://heavenawaits.com/images/nightani.gif)
