The Baby's Carol

Love was born in that lowly place
See it shining in Mary’s face
Lighting the world and starry skies
Oh love in a baby’s eyes
Hope was born on that lonely night
through the darkness he came as light
Dawning to bid the shadows part
Oh hope from a baby’s heart
And joy was born in that stable bare
Angel hosts behold him there
Happily greet this holy child,
Oh Joy in a baby’s smile
Peace was born in that simple stall
Softly reaching to touch us all
Tenderly blessing every land
Oh peace in a baby’s hand
