The Desire Of All Nations Came

By Margaret Cagle


Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

The Desire of all nations came!

He came to save us from our sin.

Jesus Christ is His holy name!


All nations desire a leader

Who will bring peace to the earth.

The Desire of all nations came

At the advent of Jesus’ birth.


“Glory to God in the highest!”

Sang the angels, a glorious sight!

“Peace on earth, good will to men.”

The Saviour was born that night!


God sent His only begotten Son

From His home in Heaven above.

God sent His only Son to die

Out of His great, tremendous love!


Jesus came to this earth below.

He came to die for the sins of all.

He arose, and He lives forever.

Upon the Saviour, let us call!

If given from the heart!
