Christ Child Lullaby testo

Chorus:

My love, my pride, my treasure, O

My wonder new and pleasure, O

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 they gave You gold

Frankincense and gifts untold

They traveled far these gifts to bring,

And glorify their newborn king.



Chorus
