THERE IS A CHILD
A gentle yet stirring Christmas song, with piano accompaniment.
SATB or SA
duration 3:36
A mother and her child, far from home. Hoping for a better life. The plight of the refugee in the light of the Christmas story.
A hint of Silent Night draws the listener into the universality of the mother/child relationship.

There is a child
In a mother’s arms
Far from home, far from home
There is a star
Shining in the night
A guiding light, guiding light
There is a hope
Rising in her heart
For this life, this life, this life
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
(repeat all above)
Who is this mother?
Who is this child?
Where is this star so bright?
They are every mother, every child
Let us be that guiding light
There is a child
In a mother’s arms
Far from home, far from home
In search of peace
And a better life
For this child, for this child
There is a hope
Rising in her heart
For this life, this life
There is a hope
Rising in her, rising in her heart
For this life, this life.
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
There is a child
(All is bright)
There is a star
(All is bright)
There is a hope
There is a child
In a mother’s arms
Far from home, far from home
There is a star
Shining in the night
A guiding light, guiding light
There is a hope
Rising in her heart
For this life, this life, this life
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
(repeat all above)
Who is this mother?
Who is this child?
Where is this star so bright?
They are every mother, every child
Let us be that guiding light
There is a child
In a mother’s arms
Far from home, far from home
In search of peace
And a better life
For this child, for this child
There is a hope
Rising in her heart
For this life, this life
There is a hope
Rising in her, rising in her heart
For this life, this life.
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
There is a child
(All is bright)
There is a star
(All is bright)
There is a hope
There is a child
