Carol for all Born

Some children, drowning in tears, lie lost
While others sleep in rare mattress soft
Still, throngs find rest in pavements cold
All dream of worlds free of fear untold

Long, long ago in Bethlehem town
For her newborn, Mary's knees went down
She prayed his life be spared from grim slay
As she watched him lie in bed of hay

When children are born to worlds unknown
Should their young lives suffer pain and groan
Couldn't we make their paths free from wrong
Fill up their hearts with life-giving song

This Christmas, let's embrace all born
Keep them all safe every morn
Let Love, Hope guide them all life-long
Peace let's sing, shield all babes from wrong

Do you know children to earth just come
Like Infant Jesus' birth - marred in glum
For their sake pray for life free from strife
And laughter fill them throughout their life

As wars world-wide pose threats to young lives
Let Wise Men's acts of love guide all strives
Shield children from tyrant Herods' guiles
Lull babes to sleep, comfort them with smiles

When children are born to worlds unknown
Should their young lives suffer pain and groan
Couldn't we make their paths free from wrong
Fill up their hearts with life-giving song

This Christmas, let's embrace all born
Keep them all safe every morn
Let Love, Hope guide them all life-long
Peace let's sing, shield all babes from wrong

Could we embrace all born
And keep them safe every morn
Let Love, Hope guide them all life-long
Peace let's sing, shield all babes from wrong

This Christmas, let's embrace all born
Keep them all safe every morn
Let Love, Hope guide them all life-long
Peace let's sing, shield all babes from wrong
