Born a Sacrifice

Once upon a silent night Shepherd's saw a blinding light Had a trembling maiden's cry of pain The world forever changed The cathedral was a stable bare Beasts of earth bore witness there On an altar made of sweetest hay Heaven's Son did lay From God's heart to our side Came the promised Child Flesh and bone Lamb of Life Simple holy Christ Born a sacrifice Angels sang a symphony Heralding the new born King He was christened by the star above To give His life in love From God's heart to our side Came the promised Child Flesh and bone Lamb of life Simple holy Christ Born a sacrifice
