Lyrics

Verse 1 How suddenly a baby cries and all forever change As shepherds leave the angel's song to find this holy place Where in her young and trembling arms a virgin holds her Son And in this Child of breath divine, our Light has finally come Verse 2 She ponders how the Magi kneel before Emmanuel With gold and frankincense and myrrh, Christ's sacrifice they tell A dream would help them flee a King, whose pride would cruelly destroy As mothers weep, God's mercy meets the hunger for His joy Verse 3 What wonder still that Anna, filled with praise, should bless the Lord Her aging eyes now looking on the Savior of the world For night and day her prayers had filled the temple of our God Her heart could tell His saving hand within this gift of love Verse 4 Hear Simeon who had waited long draw near to hold the Child To speak of Him who would reveal the many thoughts we hide That hearts would rise to know His grace, but many fall away A sword would pierce His mother's soul upon redemption joy Verse 5 How suddenly a baby cries and all forever changed Through hist'ry, soul by soul has come to find His healing grace He filled my troubled heart with peace, with hope of endless worth My voice will join the song of praise that tells Messiah's birth He filled my troubled heart with peace, with hope of endless worth My voice will join the song of praise that tells Messiah's birth...
