Glorious is a baby wrapped in heaven�??s light
Glorious is a manger shining in the night
O can you feel how the world is not the same
O can you hear how the angels sing his name
Baby Jesus, redemption of man begins
Baby Jesus peace on earth and goodwill to man
Jesus the hand of our kingdom come
Baby Jesus to the world He gives His son
Wonderful is the mystery of a newborn child
Wonderful is the glory bound in meek and mild
O can you feel how the world is not the same
Can you recall [?] the truth of why he came
Baby Jesus, redemption of man begins
Baby Jesus peace on earth and goodwill to man
Jesus the hand of our kingdom come
Baby Jesus to the world He gives His son
Emmanuel is an infant soft in tender skin
Emmanuel, who would soon be pierced with all our sin.
O can you feel how the world is not the same
Let us rejoice for humanity reclaims
Baby Jesus, redemption of man begins
Baby Jesus peace on earth and goodwill to man
Jesus the hand of our kingdom come
Baby Jesus to the world He gives His son
to the world He gives His son
to the world He gives His son
