CHRIST CHILD LULLABY



My love, my pride, my treasure oh

My wonder new and pleasure oh

My son, my beauty, ever You

Who am I to bear You here?



The cause of talk and tale am I

The cause of greatest fame am I

The cause of proudest care on high

To have for mine, the King of all



And though You are the King of all

They sent You to the manger stall

Where at Your feet they all shall fall

And glorify my child, the King



There shone a star above three kings

To guide them to the King of kings

They held You in their humble arms

And knelt before You until dawn



They gave You myrrh and gave You gold

Drank incense and gifts untold

They traveled far these gifts to bring

And glorify their new born King
