A Child Is Born
A CHILD IS BORN
Once upon a time, long, long ago
In a far away land
A star shone bright throughout the night
Its light was truly grand
Men in fields were watching sheep
They marveled at this sight
The Glory of God shone round about
And filled them all with fright
Suddenly, the angels came
And said, be not afraid
For unto you a King is born
Go see where He is laid
Then wise men came from far away
With gifts so sweet and rare
To pay homage to this King of Kings
In a stable cold and bare
So come now let us celebrate
The birth of this same child
Who now rules o'er the universe
Though born so meek and mild
This King will reign eternally
His Kingdom has no end
Let this Christ Child live in you
And be your closest friend
Then when you leave this earthly home
For your appointed place
You'll have a mansion all your own
And meet Him face to face
