Flight to Egypt Lyrics

Old man waiting in the temple courts

He said it from the start

The hope of nations, and of men

But he'll do things to pierce your heart

And divide the world

The silent night is passed and gone

And tyrants plan Your fate

But all the while, their response to You

Will determine their own way

The road to joy or sorrow

A mighty flame flickers to a spark

There are three on the lonely road

With the fear of kings back in the dark

the tidings of great joy postponed

For the mothers back in Bethl'am

He's come to comfort the weeping ones

And to call their dead back to life

And the blood that you failed to shed tonight

Will one day flow for such as you

If only you were humbled

Our refugee will hurt more than this

He'll be made weaker still

But let your strength not make you blind

Run him off or have him killed

His peace will come with power
