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