Author: Geoffrey Ainger Hymnal: Voices United #95 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Born in the night, Mary's Child,
a long way from your home;
coming in need, Mary's Child,
born in a borrowed room.
2 Clear shining light, Mary's Child,
your face lights up our way;
light of the world, Mary's Child,
dawn on our darkened day.
3 Truth of our life, Mary's Child,
you tell us God is good;
prove it is true, Mary's Child,
shown on your cross of wood.
4 Hope of the world, Mary's Child,
you're coming soon to reign;
saviour of all, Mary's Child,
walk in our streets again.
