Author: Tom Colvin Hymnal: Come, Let Us Walk This Road Together #13 (1997) Lyrics: 1 You who wait to see a king,
come to Christ and praises bring,
with all people now proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
2 Can this child have come to reign?
A brown-skinned child of peasants plain,
natal bed, the hard-packed earth,
cattle byre, his place of birth?
3 See the plan of God's design,
a human birth which is divine.
God in human form discern,
God's own child in Bethlehem.
4 When with eyes of faith we see,
every child has dignity,
born in palace or in kraal,
Christ is Savior to them all.
5 Every race and hue unite,
Christ is born to put us right.
Christ in every neighbor see,
serve Christ with humility.
6 Friends and neighbors come and sing,
joyful songs and praises bring,
let all people now proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem." Topics: Faith Teaching Songs Languages: English Tune Title: PLEYEL'S HYMN
