VERSE 1
Lo! In that lowly town of Biakpan,
Born is OlumbaObu our Leader;
To lead Brotherhood of the Cross and Star,
Which is that promised new Kingdom.
VERSE 2
Lo! A woman brought forth a man child,
Who was to rule with a rod of iron;
Fulfilled are these words of revelation;
What a lucky generation!
VERSE 3
Come now before Him with thanksgiving,
He is worthy to receive your presents;
Offer all your gold, myrrh and frankincense
To the King of all the nations.
VERSE 4
Heaven and earth hail the Saviour's birth,
Angels on high this day sing hosanna;
Praise, honour, glory be to our Father,
On earth peace, goodwill towards men.
Amen
