It contrasts the humble manger scene with the majestic second coming, when every eye will see Him and every tongue confess His lordship. The lyrics weave together the Christmas story with the anticipation of Christ's return, emphasizing that believers will be gathered home. The song invites worship alongside shepherds and wise men, celebrating Jesus as both the baby in a manger and the reigning King over death and sin.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
One more time you've heard the story
Of our Savior's birth
Heard how few beheld His glory
When He came to earth
Oh but soon every eye shall see Him
Angels at His side
See Him now on a great white stallion
In the eastern sky
Sent by the Father
Jesus go and call my children
A trumpet sounds and the angels sing
Like never before
With shepherds and wise men
We humbly bow
And every tongue confess that He is Lord
When He comes in all His glory
Comes to claim His own
We won't need a star to guide us
We'll be going home
Once a baby in a manger
No room at the inn
Now a king who reigns forever
Over death and sin
Sent by the Father
Jesus go and call my children
A trumpet sounds and the angels sing
Like never before
With shepherds and wise men
We humbly bow
And every tongue confess that He is Lord
