Look down, look down and see the world;
Look down and see the world rejoicing!
A child, a child is born today,
In peace and love, so raise your voices!
A time to learn from every child,
A time to give, a time to smile.
Embracing all in happiness,
A time to ask them for forgiveness.
So we sing:
Hal-le, hal-le, hal-le, hal-le, hal-le
Hallelujah!
And we sing:
Hal-le, hal-le, hal-le, hal-le, hal-le
Hallelujah!
Lead on, lead on and take my mind,
Lead me to greater understanding.
Of all the sorrow’s of mankind,
In you, a love ever-expanding.
To be content with what I need,
To live without a trace of greed,
To be a child once again,
And never, never more the same.
So we sing:
Hal-le, hal-le, hal-le, hal-le, hal-le
Hallelujah!
And we sing:
Hal-le, hal-le, hal-le, hal-le, hal-le
Hallelujah!
And so, and so the day is done.
The child once more peacefully sleeping.
The Son has set upon the world,
His watch of love peacefully keeping.
Have we just passed the time away?
Have we just lost ourselves in play?
Have we begun to live again,
Like children never more the same?
So we sing:
Hal-le, hal-le, hal-le, hal-le, hal-le
Hallelujah!
And we sing:
Hal-le, hal-le, hal-le, hal-le, hal-le
Hallelujah!
