How beautiful the mystery: Th???eternal Word comes down To live and love and die and rise, To claim His victor???s crown. Content we find Him cradled there Amongst the filth and beasts. Who would believe that He will be Our guide from death to peace! By angry swords and dark decree He???s driven from His land. But still He humbly bows His head To trust His Father???s hand. The spotless Lamb lays down His life, A curse upon a cross. Then lives that He might guarantee That no sheep will be lost. O! May our hearts grow ever fond Of Mary???s precious boy: Our Christ, our hope, our heart???s desire, Our King and Sov???reign Joy!
