Somewhere a Child is Sleeping

The snow is softly falling The night is cold and grey The forests fields and mountains Await the coming day One star outshines the others So bright as if to say This is a special morning A child was born on Christmas day. Long ago, far away In a stable bare Look and see, he sleeps so peacefully As if the cold of night were never there Bless all the little children Whenever they may lay Somewhere a child is sleeping A child was born on Christmas Day. So we might love each other In peace and honor's way Somewhere a child is sleeping A child was born on Christmas Day To save the world from sadness His troubled life he gave To offer hope and gladness Our weary souls to save To comfort us in trouble To guide us ev'ryday One hope for life eternal A child was born on Christmas
