Child of Our Dreams

Holy Child of poverty, so lowly is Your birth
Sharing our humanity, embracing all the Earth
Every nation, every race, every person wears your face
Come anew, oh 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 anew, oh Child of our dreams

Sacred Child of ecstacy, creation sings Your love
Light gives back Your radiancy and fills the skies above
Gentle glow from candle light, splendor of the stars of night
Come anew, oh Child of our dreams

Child of all eternity, our justice and our peace
Born into our history, that hatreds all may cease
Bring us all to life from death
Be our hope, our joy, our breath
Come anew, oh Child of our dreams
