Gerry Holmes wrote this song which has a Christmas version and a Baptism version. Listen at AOV for an excerpt.
Refrain
We welcome you little baby, into our family life.
Come now, gentle and frail, and we will hold you tight.
Verse 1
Each Christmas morn he comes to us
And we must let him in.
How can it be, so long ago
There was no room within?
Refrain
Verse 2
Amidst the wrappings torn and toss’d
We hear a little cry,
And if we look, with caring hands
We find a lonely child.
Refrain
Verse 3
Around this world this Christmas day
A million babes will come
And with each tear, they’ll share this day
With Mary’s little son.
Refrain
Baptism verses
Verse 1
A new boy/girl comes to join the fun
And we must let her/him in.
How can it be, for Mary’s babe
There was no room within?
Verse 2
Amidst the noises all around
We hear a little cry,
And if we stop and look awhile
We’ll find a little child.
Verse 3
Around the world this special day
A million babes will come,
And with tear, they’ll share this day
With Mary’s little son.
