Child of heaven born on earth - let the music sound his praises: Child of heaven born on earth - sing to greet the savior's birth! Christ, our hope, our joy, appears - for this time we have been waiting; Christ our hope, our joy appears - promise of a thousand years. Child of heaven . . . Cold within a lowly cave, lightly wrapped, in manger lying; cold within a lowly cave is our God who stoops to save. Child of heaven . . . Jesus, king and mighty One, gentle babe in Mary's keeping; Jesus, king and mighty One, come to make our hearts your throne! Child of heaven . . .
