Born in the Night, Mary's Child
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;
Yes, 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;
King of the earth, Mary's Child,
Walk in our streets again.
