  Am       F     G
Helpless and hungry, lowly afraid,

Wrapped in the chill of mid-winter

  Am      F     G            Am

   E        Am
New life for the world



CotP Chorus:
 Am     F             G
Who is this who lives with the lowly, Sharing their sorrows,

 F        E
Knowing their hunger?

     F             G
This is Christ, revealed to the world

          Am      E       Am
In the eyes of a child, a child of the poor.

On Mary's lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,

    Am      E      Am
While shepherds watch are keeping?

The babe, the son of Mary.

Who is the stranger, here in our midst,

Looking for shelter among us?

The children of God?

Why lies he in such mean estate

Good Christian, fear: for sinners here

   Am    E      Am
The silent Word is pleading.

Bring all the thirsty, all who seek peace;

  Am         F      E

Strengthen the feeble, say to the frightened heart:

    Am    E      Am
"Fear not, here is your God!".

In the eyes of a child, a child of the poor.
