Born in the night, Mary's child, a long way from your home: coming in need, Mary's child, 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.
