1. Said Samuel, "Within five years

A night will be as day,

And Baby Jesus will be born

In a land far, far away."
Hosanna! Hosanna!

Oh, let us gladly sing.

How blessed that our Lord was born;

Let earth receive her King!
2. Across the sea, in Bethlehem,

Lord Jesus came to earth

As Samuel had prophesied,

And angels sang His birth.
