The Gift
God gave a little child
He gave this child to me;
The babe was made with love,
His soul was made by Thee.
His face a sunny blossom,
His body fair and bright,
The halo of his hair,
Was raven as the night.
This child is a part of me,
This gift of flesh divine,
And all the world was bright and new,
With this precious gift of mine.
Dear Father let me give you praise,
To share him with you all his days.
