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
