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 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   Where ever 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.
