Who is this child?



Who is this child asleep in the manger?

The heavens are bright and the stable so cold.

And on this holy night, have You come to redeem us,

Little Child in the straw, little Child in the straw?


Who is this babe? The Prince of the Universe?

The donkey is braying; the angels are singing.

The prophets did say You would come to redeem the world.

Little Babe in the straw, save us all.


And if we lose sight of Your sweet face

At the birth of grace, at the birth of grace,

Light of truth, shine like Bethlehem's star

And lead us to where you are;

Show us who You are.


Merciful One, Lover of ev'ry soul,

The Father's own Son,

Emmanuel,

Yes, we believe You are able to heal us.

Noel, noel, save us all.


Save us tonight, little Babe in the straw.

Save us tonight, little Babe in the straw.
