NO TRUMPETS BLAZING

 

No trumpets blazing

No crimson carpet spread

No heraldry to greet Him

No palace for the cradle bed

 

 

Though a star gave light to a few

He was born in the dark of night

He drew first breath near ewe and lamb

But for most men there was no sight

 

 

For here a miracle was wrought

The Son of God come to earth

Trailing glory born of God

Promising to all a second birth

 

 

To each of us comes the dark of night

When courage deserts the faithful heart

When all seems lost and fear ascends

And from peace we seem so far apart

 

 

This is the reason He came to earth

His message to us so clear

The Son of God was born for us

For in Him there is no fear

 

 

Then, angels proclaimed His mortal birth

And wise men were drawn from afar

Now, His light shines in the darkness

Far brighter than any star

 

 

The Son of Almighty God

Walked among us full of love

Seeking joy for all mankind

Beckoning us to a home above

 

 

For God so loved the world

That He sent His only begotten Son

The Son so loved the world 

That victory over sin and death He won

 

 

But when He comes again

It won’t be in the quiet of night

His descent will be from heaven above

For all to witness His power and might

 

 

Their King they will acknowledge

With tongue and bended knee

His message then, as it’s always been,

Is from sin He’s come to set us free

 

 

To heal our broken hearts

To wipe away our tears

To redeem us from our fallen lives

To save us from our fears

 

 

He is the risen Lord

The only one Satan could not break

He rose with healing in His wings

And beckons us to partake
