who is this child, 

asleep in a manger? 

the heaven's are bright 

the stable's so cold 

on this holy night, 

have you come to redeem us? 

little child in the straw 

little child in the straw 



who is this babe? 

prince of the universe 

a donkey is braying 

angels are singing 

the prophets did say 

you would come to redeem the world 

little child in the straw 

save us all 



and if we lose sight of your sweet face 

at the birth of grace, at the birth of grace 

light of truth shine like Bethlehem's star 

lead us to where you are, show us who you are 



merciful one 

lover of every soul 

the Father's own Son 

Emmanuel 

yes, we believe, 

you are able to heal us 

Noel, noel,  

save us all 



save us tonight (repeat)
