A bold, original Christmas hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mary Ann Snowball. The text is taken from events that occurred in the ancient Americas, written of in the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ.
Through Samuel, called the Lamanite, A prophecy was
shared
With Nephites in America And others listning there.
He said to them in five years hence The Son of God
would come.
The night would not be darkened, (and?) It was
believed by some.
Behold, this sign is given you! Behold, there will be light!
The shadow then would hide its face Providing perfect
sight.
For those who trusted in these words A miracle came
forth,
For just before the evening dusk The sunlight called (asked?)
for more.
This was a token of Gods love, To send his precious
Son
To condescend with righteousness. He is the holy One!
And, at this time in Bethlehem A star would shine the
same
To show both continents displayed The Saviors holy
name.
His birth announced the sacred news Expected for so
long.
Sweet angels sang hosannas as They praised our Lord in
song.
Behold, these holy signs were givn For all the world
to see-
Dear baby Jesus came on earth To love and set us free.
