What is Your name, little Child in the
manger,
Come to earth as one of us?
What is Your name, tiny newborn stranger?
The name You’re given at birth is Jesus.
You are now “God with us”—Emmanuel
David’s Son and yet Son of God
You are our long-awaited Messiah
Master, Redeemer, Prince of Peace, Lord.
While here on earth you’ll be called Yeshua
You will die as the Lamb of God
You will rise again and reign forever
King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
What shall I call You, Child in the manger?
Alpha Omega-Beginning and End?
Of all Your names, what shall I call You?
I’ll call You Savior and I’ll call You Friend.
