THE KING IS BORN by Stephen O. Mmaduwihe — Lyrics
About THE KING IS BORN
"The King Is Born" is a bright, joyful Christmas hymn that brings the story of the Nativity straight into the choir loft. Written by Stephen O. Mmaduwihe, the song moves through the familiar, beloved scenes of the season—from the prophetic promises fulfilled on Christmas morning to the arrival of the three wise men bearing frankincense, gold, and myrrh.
For a choir, this piece is perfect for Christmas morning Mass or a parish carol service. The four verses are set to a straightforward, marching rhythm that encourages the whole congregation to join in the celebration. Singing "Let us rejoice in the Lord," we are reminded of the true reason for our gathering: the Messiah who has come to set His people free.
