Mary, clean virgin,
Yet knowing her weakness and sin,
Wholly astounded,
Heard news of God’s baby within.
Righteous, good workman
Now brimming with shock and dismay,
Joseph determined
To quietly send her away...
Then saw an angel
Appear in a dream in the night;
Heard with amazement
His bride was still holy and right.
Wounded by gossip
And called by the census away,
They found a manger
To fill with a baby, not hay.
Leaving his glory
And veiling his infinite worth
Such is the story
Of God now in flesh here on earth.
