Song of Zechariah

Through the tender mercy of our God

Comes the Dayspring from on High

To visit us, to guide our feet upon this sod

By His own blessed light he now draws nigh

So to those who sit in darkness beneath the shadow that death casts

The faithfulness of salvation has come to us at last

Celebrate this baby -fall down at His feet

Worship him as saviour and Christmas is complete.

Fall on your knees- adore the holy One

Fall on your knees- for God has sent His son!

And so this child of Bethlehem came to bear the covenant sign

The seal of kingdom promises - the crux of God’s design

To see God’s throne in humility you must have wizened eyes

The thrill of hope breaks forth in song for in the cradle mercy lies
