This Child

Verse 1

This Child secretly comes in the night
Oh this Child hiding a heavenly light
Oh this Child coming to us like a stranger
This heavenly Child

Chorus

This Child heaven come down now to be with us here
Heavenly love and mercy appear
Softly in awe and wonder come near -
To this heavenly Child

Verse 2

This Child rising on us like the sun
Oh this Child given to light everyone
Oh this Child guiding our feet on the pathway
To peace on earth

Verse 3

This Child raising the humble and poor
Oh this Child making the proud ones to fall
This Child filling the hungry with good things
This heavenly Child
