On a night of promise long ago,
When a star announced the light of hope
To a world that knew no peace before
The holy child of peace was born.
But he stirred their longings deep within
For his kingdom knew no end.
From a place eternal high above
The wondrous child of peace had come.
Child of comfort, child of light.
Hope that drowns away the night.
Touch our lives from heaven above.
Oh child of peace, we need your love.
In a world where peace eludes us still
Where the heart exerts its will.
At a time when words are not enough
Oh child of peace we need your love.
Oh man of peace we need your love.
God who only knows our need
Come to us, oh child of peace.
When a star announced the light of hope

Come to us, oh child of peace.
