What babe is this who cries no tears

Who brought you forth, who laid you here?

  C majorC       FF
How can it be they call you king
      G+G
A augmentedA baby in a manger born

The angels sang, the heavens smiled

 C majorC        FF
December child, so full of grace
  C majorC        FF
So humbly born, so highly praised
   C majorC           FF
They bring you gifts, they follow stars
   C majorC           FF
They say they know who you really are
            G+G
But you are still your mother's son
   FF        G+G
They say you are the chosen one

The kings and queens, the rank and file
  FF
All know your name

While the shepherds watch they're keeping
  FF        C majorC   FF
We lie sleeping

 C majorC         FF
December child, the world awaits
  C majorC         FF
And soon enough you'll meet your fate

And all the world, in all its need

Will soon be pulling at your sleeve
  A minorAm        G+G
So give her time, a little while
  FF
And go to sleep

For all the world, in all its need

So give her time, a little while
  FF
And go to sleep
