Ordinary Time - Flight to Egypt

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
