YouTube video: The Christmas Child, hymn

Text:
God became a Baby in old Bethlehem,
Condescending freely, showing love for men.
Coming down from heaven, from his throne on high,
Came the Infant Son of God; Jesus would comply.

God became a Baby, tender, sweet and mild.
Growing up with meekness, He would reconcile
Ev’ry sin and weakness from man’s ev’ry flaw.
Coming as God’s Infant Son, He kept heav’nly law.

God became a Baby from a foreign land.
He came down in wonder as a common man.
Growing as a child, trusting Father’s plan,
He became our greatest Friend showing in each hand.

Chorus:
The Christmas Child, God’s holy Son, became a Babe to save each
one.
To be his holy heir in truth, I must be as a child too.
