How darling is the manger scene
With baby Jesus so pristine
But will the cheery moods persist
When he returns with clenched fist?

We ooh and ahh the wondrous birth
And gaily sing of peace on earth
Will we still smile when he returns
In blazing anger as earth burns?

That Christmas cheer you so enjoy
As you extol the baby boy
Will you extol his coming back
The warrior king in full attack?

All nations have now tossed him off
He is no king at all, they scoff
Yet he at last will show the earth
The precise meaning of his birth

A ruler who demands his throne
And crushes all who him disown
The King of Zion, David's seed
Who comes to make his rivals bleed

So bow to Him, and kiss the Son
Who has no equal, no, not one
He came at first to save your soul
He comes at last, to reach his goal
