Lyrics

All the Babes on Christmas Born


Through Bethlehem a cold wind swirled
Past shed and stable, shop and inn
By window, doorway, dimly-lit,
And homes bent low 'neath sorrow's din.
It paused beside a humble place
Where in a manger lay a child.
His father stood in awe, and still;
His mother held her heart and smiled.

A heavenly light shown kindly down,
Piercing through the wind and dust,
God, the Creator, blessed His child
With Tender Mercies, Love, and Trust.
The babe was Jesus, who would teach
Of God's Compassion and His Care,
Who would live and who would die
For our Dear Father's Love to share.

On that night, all 'round the world
Other newborns' cries were heard.
All the babes on Christmas born,
God's own daughters, His own sons.
And every child since dawning time
Has been a flower of His Heart,
Here to live, to learn, to grow,
Side by side and not apart.

Bridge:

Through days of toil and joys,
Struggles, joys, and fears,
God has kept us in His Sight,
And washed away our tears.


With the lessons Jesus shared,
Of Love, Forgiveness, Patience, Grace,
All God's children, everywhere,
Shall someday, surely, see His Face.
We'll live and love, we'll search, we'll find,
Rejoicing, praising, our Great King,
One in family, one in heart,
And then fly home, safe on His Wing.
