There came a little Child to earth

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #92 (1918) Lyrics: 1 There came a little Child to earth Long ago; And the angels of God proclaimed His birth, High and low. 2 Out in the night so calm and still, Their song was heard; For they knew that the Child on Bethleh'm’s hill Was Christ the Lord. 3 Far away in the goodly land Fair and bright; Children with crowns of glory stand, Robed in white. 4 They sing, the Lord of heaven so fair, A Child was born; And that they might His crown of glory share, Wore crown of thorn. 5 In mortal weakness, want and pain, He came to die, That the children of earth might in glory reign With Him on high. 6 And evermore in robes so fair And undefiled, Those ransomed children His praise declare, Who was a Child.

There came a little Child to earth

Author: Miss Emily E. S. Elliott, 1836-1897 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #616 (1917) Lyrics: 1 There came a little Child to earth, Long ago; And the angels of God proclaim His birth High and low Out in the night so calm and still, Their song was heard; For they knew the Child on Bethlehem's hill Was Christ the Lord. 2 Far away, in a goodly land, Fair and bright Children with crowns of glory stand, Robed in white In white more pure than the spotless snow; And their tongues unite In the psalm which the angels sang long ago On that still night. 3 They sing how the Lord of that world so fair A Child was born; And, that they might His crown of glory share, Wore a crown of thorn; And in mortal weakness, in want and pain, Came forth to die, That the children of earth might in glory reign With Him on high. 4 He has put on His kingly apparel now In that goodly land; And He leads to where fountains of waters flow That chosen band And for ever more, in their robes so fair And undefiled, Those ransomed children His praise declare Who was once a child.
