lyrics

The Christ Child

(adapted, with new words,
from a G.K. Chesterton poem, 1900)
the Christ child lay on Mary's lap,
the stable was alight,
O weary, weary were the world,
but here is all alright
the Christ child in the manger lay,
poor shepherds may admire,
O weary, weary is the world,
but here the world's desire
the Christ child lay in peace and rest,
and o'er the place a star,
O stern and cunning are the kings,
but here, the true hearts are
the Christ child came into the world,
His mercy like a crown,
where any lost may know Him,
and seeking, may be found
* * *
the Christ child lay on Mary's lap,
the stable was alight,
O weary, weary were the world,
but here is all alright
the Christ child lay in peace and rest,
and o'er the place a star,
O stern and cunning are the kings,
but here, the true hearts are
the Christ child lay on Mary's lap…
