Author: Michael Perry Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Child of gladness, child of sorrow Lyrics: 1 Child of gladness, child of sorrow,
Crib today and cross tomorrow;
Holy child, who comes to borrow
Peasant robe and stable bare.
2 Child as all our children tender,
Prince removed from heaven's splendor;
Wealth and glory you surrender,
All our bitter pain to share.
3 Child in Bethlehem appearing,
Neither hurt nor hatred fearing:
You we worship, God revering,
Jesus, Savior, hear our prayer. Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: QUEM PASTORES
