Not Just a Babe
Updated: Mar 9, 2022

Not just a babe born
who is Christ the Lord
did God’s heavenly host
of angels so eagerly herald.
Not just a mere war to be
waged by a Savior divine
did God’s heavenly host
of angels so boldly declare.
But a final victory over sin
by the Son of God Most High
did God’s vast heavenly host
of angels so gloriously proclaim.*
Luke 2: 1-14
*host: a Hebrew term used to describe an army encampment
Matthew 26:53: military wording to describe
angels’ readiness by legion to protect and fight for Jesus
