This Child

Every year since I have been writing for the web I have focused my column on Moira Kerr's song, "This Child", a not yet famous Christmas Carol but a beautiful one none the less. As I reflected on the song again this year I decided I wanted to do more than just listen. I wanted to do something for the children. An opportunity to share our riches with a child just like the wisemen did. The BBC is running a "Children In Need Program" and by donating you will help the children of Scotland and all of the Brtitish Isles. All you have to do is click on the emblem below. As easy as that you have done something in the spirit of this beautiful song.

You will find the music in Real Audio here.

This Child
by Moira Kerr

Three wisemen came from countries a far.
The sky was full of light
They saw a brightly shining star
High above Bethlehem, high above Bethlehem that night.

Wise Men It brought them to a stable bare.
And through the dimness of the light
They saw a baby lying there.
They bowed their heads in prayer
They bowed their heads in prayer
That night.

And they brought mryth, frankincense, and gold
It is the greatest story ever told.
They laid such riches by him there
In his little stable so cold, so humble and so bare.

And these men the high born of their land
Who see such great and wondrous things.
This child all wrapped in swaddling bands
One day he would be, one day he would be,
King of kings.

And they brought mryth, frankincense, and gold
It is the greatest story ever told.
They laid such riches by him there
In his little stable so cold, so humble and so bare.

This Child

Happy Holiday to everyone from "countries a far"
