Child

Heaven’s gold­en light ov­er me is stream­ing,
Heaven’s gold­en light ov­er me is stream­ing,
Child be­lov­èd, Child ad­ored.
Fillèd with dis­may,
Some mo­ther’s child,
Gaspar, Mel­chi­or, Bál­thă­zár,
Of the Vir­gin un­de­filed;
Glory on high, and peace be­low,
And lit­tle I can do;
The sag­es frowned, their beards they shook,
Child, be not, be not afraid;
A ho­ly Child come down to earth
To save us from sin’s keep­ing;
His child for­ev­er­more,
Swing low, swing low, star in the sky,
The dear Christ-Child of vir­gin born,
I'm no longer a slave to fear
And He shall lead His own,
A lit­tle child like me;
(Ring the bells of Christ­mas)
