In the bleak mid-winter, all creation groans For a world in darkness, frozen like a stone Light is breaking, in a stable For a throne And he shall reign forevermore, forevermore And he shall reign forevermore, forevermore Unto us a child is born The King of kings and Lord of lords And he shall reign forevermore, forevermore If I were a wise man, I would travel far And if I were a shepherd, I would do my part But poor as I am I will give to Him my heart And he shall reign forevermore, forevermore And he shall reign forevermore, forevermore Unto us a child is born The King of kings and Lord of lords And he shall reign forevermore, forevermore Here within a manger lies The One who made the starry skies This baby born for sacrifice Christ, the Messiah Into our hopes, into our fears The Savior of the world appears The promise of eternal years Christ, the Messiah He shall reign forevermore, forevermore He shall reign forevermore, forevermore He shall reign forevermore, forevermore And he shall reign forevermore, forevermore Unto us a child is born The King of kings and Lord of lords And he shall reign forevermore, forevermore He shall reign He shall reign He shall reign
