Announcing His Birthday – v2

Like the others
the children in the bulletin
adding the name
sharing with the congregation
the other special child
the one for whom we are waiting

Announcing his birthday
the Christ-child,
the reason for Christmas
his coming heralded
throughout the heavens
and down here on earth below

Remembering his birthday
the coming of the king,
not in his glory;
as a humble baby
nestled in his manger bed
of him we sing
