Behold I Bring by Caleb Simper — Lyrics
Behold, I bring you good[glad] tidings of great joy, which shall be to [you and] all people.
For unto you is born this day [in the city of David] a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Glory to God in the highest, and on[in] earth peace, goodwill toward men.
Variant 1
O Jesu, born of Virgin pure,
Immortal glory be to Thee,
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost eternally.
Amen.
