A Child is Born

The sweetest child to walk our stricken earth -
He is the message from the Lord above.
In His words are beauty, love and worth.

A call to hope and peace and grace-filled love,
who truly knew this treasure at his birth?
He is the message from the Lord above.

As he lay swaddled close to mother earth -
a Prince, a Saviour for our crying world,
who truly knew this treasure at his birth?

The angels sang from heaven’s gates of pearl.
The shepherds found the babe and gazed in awe.
A Prince, a Saviour for our crying world!

The wise men wandered far towards the star.
Their hearts were touched with longing and with joy.
The shepherds found the babe and gazed in awe.

With hopeful eyes, they marveled at this boy,
the sweetest child to walk our stricken earth.
Their hearts were touched with longing and with joy.
In His words are beauty, love and worth.
