Advent Hymn – That Boy-Child of Mary
Text: Tom Colvin, 1925-2000
Refrain
That boy-child of Mary was born in a stable,
a manger his cradle in Bethlehem.
What shall we call him, child of the manger?
What name is given in Bethlehem? Refrain
His name is Jesus, God ever with us,
God given for us in Bethlehem. Refrain
How can he save us, how can he help us,
born here among us in Bethlehem? Refrain
Gift of the Father, to human mother,
makes him our brother in Bethlehem. Refrain
One with the Father, he is our Savior,
heaven-sent helper in Bethlehem. Refrain
Gladly we praise him, love and adore him,
give ourselves to him in Bethlehem. Refrain
