[VERSE 1]
[G7]Holy [C]Child with-[F]in the [C]manger,
Long a[Am]go yet [Dm7]ever [G]near;
Come as [Am]friend to [Dm]every [G]stran-[Am]ger,
Come as [Dm7]hope for [G7]every [C]fear.
[Am]As you [F]lived to [C]heal the [G]broken,
[G]Greet the [F]outcast, [C]free the [G]bound,
[E7]As you [Am]taught us [G]love un[F]spoken,
[C]Teach us [Dm7]now where you [G7]are [C]found.
[VERSE 2]
[G7]Once a[C]gain we [F]tell the [C]story--
How your [Am]love for [Dm7]us was s[G]hown,
When the [Am]image [Dm]of your [G]glor[Am]y
Wore an [Dm7]image like [G7]our [C]own.
[Am]Come, en[F]lighten [C]with your [G]wisdom,
[G]Come, and [F]fill us [C]with your [G]grace.
[E7]May the [Am]fire of [G]your com[F]passion
[C]Kindle [Dm7]every land [G7]and [C]race.
[VERSE 3]
[G7]Holy [C]Child withi[F]n the m[C]anger,
Lead us [Am]ever [Dm7]in your [G]way,
So we [Am]see in [Dm]every [G]strang[Am]er
How you [Dm7]come to [G7]us [C]today.
[Am]In our [F]lives and [C]in our [G]living
[G]Give us s[F]trength to [C]live as [G]you,
[E7]That our [Am]hearts might [G]be for[F]giving
[C]And our [Dm7]spirits strong [G7]and [C]true.
[G7]Holy [C]Child with-[F]in the [C]manger,
