1. Every child is a miracle,
A new born king and a child of God.
But this child is the very Christ, He is the Holy One.
Long has the world awaited Him! The Only Begotten Son!
2. Every babe is a special one, so small and dear,
So sweet and pure they come.
But this child is the very Christ, He is the Holy One.
Long has the world awaited Him! The Only Begotten Son! Alleluia!
