CotP Verse 1:
   Am             F          G             
Helpless and hungry, lowly afraid,

   Am               F              E       
Wrapped in the chill of mid-winter

   Am           F          G                       Am       
Comes now among us, born into poverty's embrace,

      E               Am     
New life for the world
CotP Chorus:
  Am         F                         G                             
Who is this who lives with the lowly, Sharing their sorrows,

  F                E       
Knowing their hunger?

          F                          G     
This is Christ, revealed to the world

                   Am           E             Am      
In the eyes of a child, a child of the poor.

        Am         F             G             
What child is this, who, laid to rest,

    Am         F        E          
On Mary's lap is sleeping?

       Am          F          G               
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,

        Am           E           Am         
While shepherds watch are keeping?

  F               G                 
This, this is Christ the King,

                  F          E             
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

  F                 G                
Haste, haste to bring him laud,

      Am           E        Am      
The babe, the son of Mary.

Who is the stranger, here in our midst,

   Am            F           E        
Looking for shelter among us?

Who is this outcast? Who do we see amidst the poor,

        E           Am     
The children of God?

  Am         F                         G

Where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christian, fear: for sinners here

The silent Word is pleading.

"Fear not, here is your God!".

In the eyes of a child, a child of the poor.

The King of kings salvation brings,

Let loving hearts enthrone him.
