Born unto us this day the Savior
Gifted from Heaven to a manger
Hope of the world tonight for all mankind
All of the earth rejoice
It’s Christmastime
So lift up your voice and sing out His praise
It’s Christmas
Born is the King, rejoice in the day
It’s Christmas
Make a joyful sound
It’s Christmas
Let His praise resound
It’s Christmas
Goodwill to all the earth
And peace divine
All of the earth rejoice
It’s Christmastime
It’s Christmastime
It’s Christmastime

Don’t be afraid!” he said.
“I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.”
Luke 2:10 NLT
When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.
Matthew 2:10 NASB
“Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
John 1:29 NJK
“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
Luke 2:14 NKJV
I think I may have found a new favorite Christmas song. Heard this song for the first time and I could not wait to hear it again. To me, this song reflects exactly what Matthew 2:10 NASB is talking about: “they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.”
We have so much to rejoice about yet we get so caught up in the worldly ideas of Christmas; we forget to stop and celebrate the great
Gift we have been given. There is a line in an Alabama Christmas song that says:
“The gift is just what’s in your heart and not what’s in your hand”
I need to remind myself of that quite frequently. Christmas joy should come from what is in our hearts. Our voices should be lifted in praise for what this one birth means to the entire world. As Romans 15:10 states:
Again it says,
“Rejoice and celebrate, O Gentiles, along with His people.”
And again,“Praise the Lord all you Gentiles,
And let all the peoples praise Him!”
This song is that happy celebration of the glorious Christmas event. There is such joy in this song! You can’t help but sing along in a loud, unrestrained voice. “Born is the King” is a great reminder to celebrate the birth of Jesus with unrestrained joy.
