December Child Lyrics - Northern Lights - Gretchen Peters

What babe is this who cries no tears? 

Who brought you forth, who laid you here? 

A little child, a tiny thing 

How can it be they call you king? 

A baby in a manger born 

So early on a Christmas morn 

The angels sang, the heavens smiled 

And here you are, December child 

December child, so full of grace 

So humbly born, so highly praised 

They bring you gifts, they follow stars 

They say they know who you really are 

But you are still your mother's son 

They say you are the Chosen One 

The kings and queens, the rank and file 

All know your name, December child 

While the shepherds watch they're keeping 

We lie sleeping 

December child, the world awaits 

And soon enough you'll meet your fate 

Your mother's arms will soon grow cold 

And yearn for her sweet babe to hold 

And all the world, in all its need 

Will soon be pulling at your sleeve 

So give her time, a little while 

And go to sleep, December child
