TO SEE THE CHILD
Words and music by Reggie Michaud © 1987
He was born in Bethlehem, a town far away and little known.
In the middle of the night, in a stable where the brightest starlight shone.
Oooh, How did the Wise men know? Oooh, Where did the Magi go?
To see the Child born, lying in the hay.To see the Child. Bringing gifts from far away.
And falling down, they worshiped Christ the baby boy.
Emanuel, coming down bringing Peace and Joy! La-La-La-Lai
Meanwhile on a hillside, tending sheep by the light of the moon...
Shepherds kept their watch, and then suddenly they heard an angel’s tune.
And oohh, what a beautiful sight!
So they left their flocks behind and went outsearching in the middle of the night.
To see the Child born, lying in the hay.To see the Child. Shepherds came from far away.
And falling down, they worshiped Christ the baby boy.
Emanuel, coming down bringing Peace and Joy! La-La-La-Lai
(Repeat twice, 2nd time replace “Shepherds from far away” with“Wise men come even today”)
