Unto Us a Boy is Born

Author: Percy Dearmer; George Ratcliff Woodward Hymnal: Voices United #54 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7 First Line: Unto us a boy is born! Lyrics: 1 Unto us a boy is born! King of all creation, came he to a world forlorn, the Lord of every nation, the Lord of every nation. 2 Christ from heaven descending low comes, on earth a stranger; ox and ass their owner know; becradled in the manger, becradled in the manger. 3 Herod then with fear was filled: "A prince," he said, "in Jewry!" All the little boys he killed at Bethlem in his fury, at Bethlem in his fury. 4 Now may Mary's son, who came so long ago to love us, lead us all with hearts aflame unto the joys above us, unto the joys above us. 5 Omega and Alpha he! Let the organ thunder, while the choir with peals of glee doth rend the air asunder, doth rend the air asunder.
