Who comes this night, this wintry night,
|
As to the lowly manger?
|
The Shepards and the Kings did come
|
To welcome in the stranger.
|
|
Who sends this song upon the air,
|
To ease the soul that's aching?
|
To still the cry of deep despair
|
And heal the heart that's breaking.
|
|
Brother Joseph bring the light
|
Fast, the night is fading.
|
And who will come this wintry night
|
To where the stranger's waiting?
|
|
Who comes this night, with humble heart,
|
To give the fullest measure
|
A gift of purest love to bring
|
What good and worthy treasure.
|
|
Brother Joseph bring the lamb
|
For they are asking for him
|
The children come this starry night
|
To lay their hearts before him.
|
|
For those who would the stranger greet
|
Must lay their heart before him
|
And raise their song in voices sweet
|
To worship and adore him
|
|
Brother Joseph bring the light
|
Fast, the night is fading
|
And who will come this wintry night
|
To where the stranger's waiting
|
|
Brother Joseph bring the lamb
|
For they are asking for him.
|
The children come this starry night
|
To lay their hearts before him.
|
|
Pure of heart this starry night
|
To lay their hearts before him.
