Born This Day
a northern star, a guiding light
weary travelers rest this night
swaddled baby laid upon hay
a holy king was born this day
the angels sang from up above
a triumph of heavenly love
the weary seek and come to pray
a holy king was born this day
the gifts they bare from near and far
as they followed this shining star
one darkened eve it lit their way
a holy king was born this day
this fair child light upon his skin
was born to save the world from sin
in a manger laid upon hay
a holy king was born this day
although so many years ago
this story we have come to know
it's not of santa and his sleigh
a holy king was born this day
