Born to Wear a Crown
Music for Choirs, Submitted Music (2007-2011)
(Solo) Lo, a Child, born to low estate, lies where ox and lamb are fed.
Nor was found a place more worthy, for this Child, no softer bed
Chorus: (Choir) Born to wear a crown of glory, brighter far than earth affords,
For this Child laid in a manger Is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
(Solo) Lo, his palace is a stable, and His robes are swaddling bands.
Starlight the gem upon his brow, Love the scepter in his hand.
Chorus:
Holy infant Son of Mary, Born in Bethlehem this night,
He shall be enthroned in heaven, Robed in honor, robed in light,
Born to wear a crown of glory, brighter far than earth affords.
For this Child laid in a manger, is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
