A Little Child Is Born Tonight

Author: A. H. Brown Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3599 Lyrics: 1. A little child is born tonight, And He shall lead His own, To endless day, to glory bright, To lands of everlasting light, And to our Father’s throne. A little child is born tonight, And in the starry sky, To Him the angels carols bring: Good will and peace to men, they sing, Glory to God on high, Glory to God on high. 2. A little child is born tonight, And shepherds haste to see Their God and King in infant form, And worship with their true hearts warm, The Christ on bended knee. A little child is born tonight, And wise men from afar Follow afresh that wondrous light, That gloweth in the heav’nly height, The Savior’s morning star, The Savior’s morning star. 3. A little child is born tonight, To hearts for long years lone, To Anna, widow, Simeon, sage Their Star of childhood, joy of age, For evermore their own. A little child is born tonight, O come ye, one and all, And hail in faith, and hope, and love, The child who left His throne above, To lie in yonder stall, To lie in yonder stall.
