A7  D    Em       G       G/B A
The tiny child to Beth-le-hem came  That
Bm         G      D    A          D/F#     G
All of the world might turn   And care for ev'ry
G/B          A/C#      D          Em7      G  D
creature the same, The way of com-pas-sion to learn.


[Verse 2]
A7   D     Em          G        G/B A
When truth becomes the light of our way, When
Bm           G    D  A           D/F#    G
peace is the gift we share, When love is more than
G/B           A/C#      D        Em7   G  D
words that we say, The spirit of Jesus is there.


[Verse 3]
A7  D        Em     G    G/B A
And see with-in his shin-ing eyes  A
Bm         G    D  A       D/F#       G
God who is near at hand, A God whose wisdom
G/B         A/C#     D        Em7     G  D
Baffles the wise, So only the child understands.


[Verse 4]
A7  D     Em     G    G/B A
Let all creation echo and ring  In
Bm            G  D    A          D/F#      G
praise of the In-fant small, Now lift your hearts and
G/B       A/C#      D            Em7     G  D
voices to sing, And welcome the child in us all.
