Baby in a Manger

Baby in a manger

Sweet, angelic face

Adoring mother, looking down

Blessed by her radiant son

Light so bright

With glorious rays

Covering a darkened world

Promising healing

Releasing hope

Offering forgiveness

And embracing all with pure love

Gentle child

Such a beautiful gift

Radiant with joy and peace

Son of God, bright sun

Prince of Peace

Most holy and Mighty One

Eternal and blessed

King of All

Humble and great

Laying still, in the animals’ stall

At Christmas time

He touches our hearts

Renewing our spirits with joy

Look into the eyes of a baby so pure

And know His blessing, with love, is infused

For He is our gift, our light and our hope

So cling fast and never let go.
