Nativity Carol
==============
w&m: Francis Patrick O'Brien, 1992

[Verse 1]
Silent, in the chill of midnight,
starlight shines upon a lowly manger.
Wonder, wonder of the ages;
heaven breaks forth on the earth.

[Refrain]
For a child is born, the world rejoices!
Shepherds and angels proclaim his birth.
This is Jesus the Lord, our Savior and brother,
bearing God's peace to the earth.

[Verse 2]
"Fear not," said angelic voices;
"tidings of a wondrous love we bring you.
Go now, find him in a manger;
visit God's home on the earth."

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
Jesus, Lord of all creation,
sleep now close beside your mother, Mary.
Bring us light amid the darkness,
promise of life without end.

[Refrain]
