1.  God is at hand.  A babe is born;

Proclaimed to be ‘The Light’;

With every morn

New light brings dawn:

And God is seen anew;

And God is seen anew;

And God, and God is seen anew.

2. God is at hand.  The baby smiles;

Proclaimed to be ‘The Life’;

For all gentiles

And shunned exiles.

And God is seen anew;

And God is seen anew;

And God, and God is seen anew.

3. God is at hand.  The baby cries;

Proclaimed to be ‘The Way’;

Reached for the skies:

But then he dies:

And God is seen anew;

And God is seen anew;

And God, and God is seen anew.

4. God is at hand.  This baby lives;

Proclaimed to be ‘The Truth’;

His love forgives;

New life He gives:

And God is seen anew;

And God is seen anew;

And God, and God is seen anew.
