King of Love

Jesus came
 There he lay
 In a manger of hay
 The angels sang
 The shepherds came
 They knew not what
 The future held
 They only knew
 They were compelled
 From up above
 A baby boy
 The king of love
 He was a child
 He was the son
 He was a man among men
 He was a prince
 He was divine
 He was the king of love
 Jesus grew
 He was a child
 He traveled far
 In distant lands
 His earthly parents
 By the hand
 They missed him now
 He did not hide
 He told them
 I must confide
 I was at my father's side
 He was a child
 He was the son
 He was a man among men
 He was a prince
 He was divine
 He was the king of love
 Jesus died
 The world was dark
 Not a sound was there to hark
 The breath was gone
 He hung his head
 But wait
 Let us rejoice...
 (For he has risen from the dead)
 He was a child
 He was the son
 He was a man among men
 He was a prince
 He was divine
 He was the king of love
