O behold, the mystery now unfolds
See the stars, shine on the virgin foretold
Angels sing and light up the sky,
Hope rings out in the newborn's cry
Swing wide, you ancient gates, for Christ is born today
Prepare him room, prepare him room
Let the king of glory enter in
God with us, the promise has come to be
This the one, the prophets were longing to see
In the darkness a blazing light
To the hungry the words of life
His kingdom now is near for those with ears to hear
Prepare him room, prepare him room
Let the king of glory enter in
Oh, our hearts, as busy as Betlehem
Hear him knock, don't say there's no room in the inn
Through the cradle, cross, and grave
See the love of God displayed
Now He's risen and He reigns, praise the name above all names
Prepare him room, prepare him room
Let the king of glory enter in
Prepare him room, prepare him room
Let the king of glory enter in
Let the king of glory enter in
