Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #1 Meter: Irregular Topics: Christmas First Line: A babe was born, a little one Lyrics: 1 A babe was born, a little one,
in the dark'ning time of the year.
What wondrous work was there begun,
in the dark'ning time of the year?
2 The mother nursed a hungry child,
in the dark'ning time of the year,
sought shelter from the wind and wild,
in the dark'ning time of the year.
3 The shepherds heard the angels sing,
in the dark'ning time of the year.
They ran to see the infant king,
in the dark'ning time of the year.
4 The wise men saw a distant star,
in the dark'ning time of the year,
and bearing gifts, they traveled far,
in the dark'ning time of the year.
5 The dawn came gray that winter day,
in the dark'ning time of the year;
but love was born that sunless morn,
in the dark'ning time of the year! Languages: English Tune Title: WINTER'S CHILD
