Love Came Gently
by New Salem

Album: Gifts of Praise

Love came gently, soft as a baby;
Born to a lowly virgin girl.
Wrapped in rags, and laid in a manger,
Love came gently to our world.

Only shepherds and the wisest
Found Him beneath the star so bright;
While the nations lay deep in slumber,
Love came gently in the night.

No applause, no fanfare of trumpets
Heralding hope had come to earth,
For the Promise tenderly entered;
Choosing instead a humble birth.

Love came gently, sweetly to save us;
Knowing the price, He'd have to pay.
And, to all who trust in the Savior,
Love comes gently still today!
Love comes gently still today.
