Friend of the friendless

born in the night,

empower this world

with peace and light.

Carpenter King

waging love not war,

bring peace to the nations

forever more.

Saviour of mankind

asleep in the hay,

awaken each weary soul

and lead in truth's way.

God's only Son

baptize the family of man

in the deep font of mercy

throughout every land.

Newborn of Mary

help us humbly believe

in the miracle of Christmas

and its blessings receive.

 

– Adele Garner, Cinderford.
