composed by geoffrey ainger .

D Dmaj7
born in the night ,

Bm G
mary’s child ,

D G A7
a long way from your home;

D Dmaj7
coming in need ,

Bm G
mary’s child ,

Em A7 D
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 darkened 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;
king of the earth ,
mary’s child ,
walk in our streets again .
