Long ago, prophets knew
Christ would come, born a Jew,
come to make all things new;
bear his people's burden,
freely love and pardon.
Refrain:
Ring, bells, ring, ring, ring!
Sing, choirs, sing, sing, sing!
When he comes,
when he comes,
who will make him welcome?
God in time, God in man,
this is God's timeless plan:
He will come, as a man,
born himself of woman,
God divinely human: Refrain
Mary hail! Though afraid,
she believed, she obeyed.
In her womb, God is laid:
till the time expected,
nurtured and protected, Refrain
Journey ends! Where afar
Bethlehem shines, like a star,
stable door stands ajar.
unborn
Son of Mary,
Savior, do not tarry!
Ring, bells, ring, ring, ring!
Sing, choirs, sing, sing, sing!
Jesus comes!
Jesus comes!
We will make him welcome!

This video is part of the
Collection of
500+ of the Most Sung
Christian Church Songs &
Hymns, with
Lyrics, PDF and PowerPoints(
PPTX) for use in worship settings. From
Traditional Music Library.
You can visit the collection and download the original PowerPoint file (PPTX) and lyrics from following

I hope to eventually provide the whole 500+ songs in this collection in video format with mostly orchestral style background music.
The display is formatted like the sort of projection you might see in a church, thus I hope, making them useful in a worship setting, perhaps also for choir practice as most of the arrangements are based on the
SATB model.
I have mostly used the original or traditional version of the song but there are also some contemporary or modern versions.

CCLI song number (where available) are provided on the first screen of the video.
