4b. Glory, Glory to the Newborn King

Jesus, Jesus, oh, what a wonderful child.
Jesus, Jesus, so holy, meek, and mild.
New life, new joy to all he brings,
listen to the angels sing:
Glory, glory, glory to the newborn King.

He was herald by the angels,
born in a lowly manger.
Virgin Mary was chosen as his mother,
and Joseph as his earthly father.
The wise men traveled from afar;
They were guided by the shining star
to see King Jesus where he laid,
in a manger filled with hay.
