God's Greatest Gift
by Gertrude Jefferies

He laid aside his glory, to be born as a babe.
This Holy God from heaven, in a cattle stall was laid.
No royal crown of splendor was placed upon his head,
He only had a manger of hay, to be his bed.

No birthday celebrations with food, and friends and toys,
just some cattle lowing, welcomed this baby boy.
But then, out on a hillside where shepherds kept their sheep,
A choir of holy Angels their frightened eyes did see.

Behold! We bring you tidings of peace, good will to men,
For unto you a Savior is born in Bethlehem.
He is a Gift from heaven, sent down from God above,
He came to bring salvation, and show the world God's love.
