“Little Child,” New Era, Dec. 1998, 10–11
In Tune:
Little Child
1. Softness, silence,
Quiet lies the scene before.
Infant and Virgin in tender stillness lay.
Silence, softness,
’Mid the angels who adore.
Little Child, Holy One,
A world He comes to save.
2. Stable humble,
Savior in a fodder stall.
Christ Child, the Son of God, a promise to fulfill.
Quiet, tender,
All creation stands in awe.
Little Child, Holy One,
Who comes at Father’s will.
How can I honor thee,
Precious Little Child?
How can I come to thee,
Someone such as I?
3. Softness, silence,
Quiet lies the scene I see.
Starlight, shepherds, the place is rev’rent still.
Savior, Redeemer,
Oh, what’s required of me?
Is it just to come as the Little Child and do the Father’s will?
