Tom: Am
G7 C F C
Holy Child with-in the manger,
Am Dm7 G
Long ago yet ever near;
Am Dm G Am
Come as friend to every stran-ger,
Dm7 G7 C
Come as hope for every fear.
Am F C G
As you lived to heal the broken,
G F C G
Greet the outcast, free the bound,
E7 Am G F
As you taught us love unspoken,
C Dm7 G7 C
Teach us now where you are found.
[Verse 2]
G7 C F C
Once again we tell the story--
Am Dm7 G
How your love for us was shown,
Am Dm G Am
When the image of your glory
Dm7 G7 C
Wore an image like our own.
Am F C G
Come, enlighten with your wisdom,
G F C G
Come, and fill us with your grace.
E7 Am G F
May the fire of your compassion
C Dm7 G7 C
Kindle every land and race.
[Verse 3]
G7 C F C
Holy Child within the manger,
Am Dm7 G
Lead us ever in your way,
Am Dm G Am
So we see in every stranger
Dm7 G7 C
How you come to us today.
Am F C G
In our lives and in our living
G F C G
Give us strength to live as you,
E7 Am G F
That our hearts might be forgiving
C Dm7 G7 C
And our spirits strong and true.
