Lyrics

WHO IS THIS CHILD

Who is this child who was born in the hay?
Born amidst dung and debris,
Born as a king, yet mocked at His throne,
Throughout history

He was born to bring love
Was born to bring light
Was born to be Saviour from birth,
He was born to bring hope,
Was born to bring peace, goodwill unto all thee earth

Who was this child who would grow to a man,
Healing the blind and the lame,
Power to heal by the touch of His hand,
To those who cried His name

He was born to bring love
Was born to bring light
Was born to be Saviour from birth,
He was born to bring hope,
Was born to bring peace, goodwill unto all thee earth

All His biddings He speaks with the gentlest of voice
Calling all men to come to His throne,
Where He stands with His arms, full of mercy outstretched
As He lovingly welcomes us home,

Who is this child who would give up His life,
Willingly give all for me,
Bless me with strength, let my mind, might, and heart
Serve Him eternally.

He was born to bring love
Was born to bring light
Was born as our Saviour from birth,
He was born to bring hope,
Was born to bring peace, goodwill unto all thee earth
