The Celebration

The Father sent an invitation
To the rich and to the poor;
"Come attend a celebration
Like one never held before."

He had made a proclamation:
"I will send My Son in love,
To be your friend and Savior;
The Gift - One perfect -
From above."

The joyous shouting of the angels,
"Praise to God and peace to men,"
Rings throughout
The endless ages,
And we hear it now as then.

Jesus came to bring salvation
To the rich and to the poor
Within our hearts a celebration - Like we'd never known before.

Let us sing out with the angels,
"Praise to God and peace to men,"
For throughout eternal ages,
Celebrations will not end.

For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.
