who comes this night
this wintry night
as to the lowly manger?
the shepards and the kings did come
to welcome in the stranger. who sends this song upon the air
to ease the soul that's aching?
to still the cry of deep despair
and heal the heart that's breaking. brother joseph bring the light
fast
the night is fading. and who will come this wintry night
to where the stranger's waiting?
who comes this night
with humble heart
to give the fullest measure
a gift of purest love to bring
what good and worthy treasure. brother joseph bring the lamb
for they are asking for him
the children come this starry night
to lay their hearts before him. for those who would the stranger greet
must lay their heart before him
and raise their song in voices sweet
to worship and adore him
brother joseph bring the light
fast
the night is fading
and who will come this wintry night
to where the stranger's waiting
brother joseph bring the lamb
for they are asking for him. the children come this starry night
to lay their hearts before him. pure of heart this starry night
to lay their hearts before him.
