A child is born
This is the song around which Heather Bambrick will weave her musical magic on December 11th. The image of a newborn child softens the heart and hopefully strengthens our will to work for peace in the world.

A child is born by Thad Jones & Alex Wilder
|
|
Now out of the light, new as the dawn,
|
|
This child, innocent child,
|
|
Soft as a fawn, this child is born.
|
|
One small heart, one pair of eyes,
|
|
One work of art, here in my arms,
|
|
here he lies, trusting and warm,
|
|
Advent blessings of peace to you all,
|
Karen Dale, in ministry with Beach United Church
