Lyrics
English
A meeting was held quite far from earth
It’s time again for another birth
Said the angels to the lord above
The special child will need much love.
So let’s be careful where he is sent
We want his life to be content
Please lord find the parents who
Will do a special job for you.
And soon they’ll know the privileges given
In caring for their gift from heaven
Their precious charge, so meek and mild
Is heaven’s very special child.
It’s time again for another birth
Said the angels to the lord above
The special child will need much love.
So let’s be careful where he is sent
We want his life to be content
Please lord find the parents who
Will do a special job for you.
And soon they’ll know the privileges given
In caring for their gift from heaven
Their precious charge, so meek and mild
Is heaven’s very special child.
