Born in the night, Mary's Child,
a long way from your home;
Coming in need, Mary's Child,
born in a borrowed room.

Clear shining light, Mary's Child,
your face lights up our way;
Light of the world, Mary's Child,
dawn on our shadowed day.

Truth of our life, Mary's Child,
you tell us God is good;
Prove it is true, Mary's Child,
go to your cross of wood.

Hope of the world, Mary's Child,
you're coming soon to reign;
sovereign of earth, Mary's Child,
walk in our streets again.
