Child of Christmas story
Words, Shirley Murray: Aoteroa/New Zealand. Music, I-to Loh: Taiwan.
- Child of Christmas story, stable straw and star,
small and sweet and gentle, tell us who you are. - Child whose baby finger, round our own is curled,
come to melt our hearts, and come to change the world. - Child of Jew and Gentile, child of white and black,
tell us how to love you, teach us what we lack. - Child of Mary’s courage, birthed in human pain,
tell us what your name is, be our hope again.
