A Christmas Hymn

A CHRISTMAS HYMN

Written by Jono MacSorley, Molly Skaggs

Verse 1

In the quiet, in the distance

There’s a flame that flickers on

Among Mary and the angels

We can hear eternal song

Refrain 1

Here with us, oh holy, holy

Close you came, Emmanuel

Oh, shone your light into the darkness

Freed us from the hold of Hell

Verse 2

All the wealth of Heaven gathered

In your arms to give away

In the crying of an infant

Every human heart embraced

Refrain 2

To the shame of being broken

Clothed in skin, you dignified

Oh, every soul on earth befriended

By the God of love divine

Verse 3

Now you make my heart a stable

Yes, you call me Bethlehem

The incarnate still unfolding

Make your home inside, within

Refrain 3

I’ll receive your holy presence

I’ll become your dwelling place

Oh, fill the temple with your fragrance

Call it holy, sacred space

Outro

I receive your holy presence

I behold the humble king

Oh, living flame, I bow in reverence

All my worship I now bring
