Child of Our Dreams Songtext

von Marty Haugen

Holy child of poverty
So lowly is your birth
Sharing are humanity
Embracing all the earth
Every Nation, Every Race
Every person, where's your face
Come a new, O child of our dreams
Joyful child of mystery
Come warm our winter night
Fire our dull complacency
And fill us with your light
Speak the word that makes us whole
Lead each lost and hungry soul
Come a new, O child of our dreams
Sacred child of ecstasy
Creation sings your love
Light gives back your radiency
And fills the skies above
Gentle glow from candlelight
Splendor of the stars of night
Come a new, O child of our dreams
Child of all eternity
Our justice and our peace
Born into a history
That hatreds all may cease
Bring us all to life and death
Be our hope, our joy, our breath
Come a new, O child of our dreams
