The Lamb of God

This was a Christmas Carol printed in the December 2011 Ensign.

The Lamb of God
A Christmas Hymn
By Tom Edward Clark

The Lamb of God was born on earth
To offer us salvation.
With joy we celebrate 
His birth,
Alleluia!

The angels tidings quickly spread
To every soul and nation.
His life for us
He freely shed,
Alleluia!

A star shines bright to lead the way
For faithful men to hasten,
In search of Him
To kneel and pray,
Alleluia!

We demonstrate our love for Him
Through faith and dedication.
Join now,
Our joyful Christmas hymn,
Alleluia!

"Finding the real joy in Christmas comes not in scurrying to get more done, nor is it found in the purchasing of gifts.  We find real joy when we make the Savior the focus of the Season.  We can keep Him in our lives as we go about the work He would have us perform here on earth.  At this time, particularly, let us follow His example as we love and serve our fellowmen. 
~ Thomas S. Monson ~ ("Christmas is Love", First Presidency Devotional, December 2012).
