A CHILD IS BORN
ŠJack Hoban 

Today the first snowflakes begin to fall
And the songs bring nostalgia and smiles
And the world hurries back home again
No regard for all the winter miles
(all the winter miles)

Today the wreaths are back upon the doors
And the trees wear their twinkling lights
And the stores become a bright cheery place
And the world prepares for Christmas night
(prepares for Christmas)

In the streets, a choir singing
Parents hurry, bringing home the toys
Smell the air, it's crisp and brittle
Rosey-ing the cheeks of little boys
(of little boys)

Today, unlike so many other days
Sees the world, so full of love and joy
Tonight, we trade in all our sorrows
For a chance at a bright and new tomorrow

Now's the time for self-forgiving
No regrets or living in the past
We embrace the joy of Christmas
Church bells ringing, coming home at last

Give up your veils of sadness
Put on a cloak of gladness
My God we're saved a child is ....

*You can feel the night becoming
Snow is falling, promises to keep
In the homes the loved ones gather
Children lie in bed but cannot sleep

Give up your veils of sadness
Put on a cloak of gladness
My God we're saved a child is ....

We embrace the joy of Christmas
No regrets the time has come to
Give up your veils of Sadness
Put on a cloak of Gladness
My God we're saved
A child is born!
