(Tune: Scarlet Ribbons, English Traditional.
Lyrics by Doug Shepherd)
In the cold and dark of winter
G Am D7 G
In the cold and dark of winter
C Am D7 G
As the silent moon shines down
G Am D7 G
As the world awaits in darkness
C Am D7 G
God sends down a Light to all.
REFRAIN
G Dm E Am
Now God’s love in brightness growing
Am7 Bm7 C D7
Now God’s love will take its form
G Am D7 G
There in Bethlehem we meet Him
C Am D7 G
Born to us on Christmas morn.
G Am D7 G
Angels sing and shepherds tremble
C Am D7 G
Wise men look to see His star
G Am D7 G
There in swaddling clothes they find Him
C Am D7 G
God’s love there. God’s love for all.
REFRAIN
G Am D7 G
Baby Jesus, gentle, loving
C Am D7 G
This the newborn Prince of love
G Am D G
Shepherds, kings bown down to greet Him
C Am D7 G
God’s great gift from up above.
REFRAIN
