WISEMAN

(This will be sung by Jonathan Litchfield's beautiful voice NOT MINE!)

GLORY TO GOD

A decree from Caesar Augustus,
That all the world should be taxed.
Joseph the carpenter with his wife,
Took journey from Nazareth.
Joseph sought shelter in Bethlehem,
But all the doors were closed.
When day turned to night and the travelers knew,
They had no where to go…

Where will the Lord, lay his head tonight,
Why must our Savior, so humbly arrive.
Mary laid him in a manger,
And angels sing Hallelujah,
Glory to God in the highest.

King Herod sent men out to find Him,
The wisemen followed the star.
They fell down and worshipped the Christ child,
After traveling so far.
An angel told Mary and Joseph,
Take this child to Egypt and flee.
Into the night they departed,
To spare the newborn king.

Where will the Lord, lay his head tonight,
Why must our Savior, be taken to hide,
Jesus is raised in Judea,
And the angels sing Hallelujah,
Glory to God in the highest.

Thirty years gone, now Gethsemane,
Christ prays to God.
Let this cup pass from be,
But thy will be done.
He asks his disciples to watch him,
But they abandon their posts,
Now on this night, the darkest of nights,
Jesus is all alone.

Where will the Lord lay his head tonight,
Why must our Savior give freely his life,
Jesus atones for humanity
And the angels sing Hallelujah,
Glory to God in the highest.
Glory to God int the highest.
Peace on earth and goodwill to men.
Peace on earth and goodwill to men.
