(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.
