Pretty Little Baby Child

(John Jarvis, Bill Rice, Sharon Vaughan)



Pretty little baby, lying in a manger

Staring at the strangers

Who've come so many miles

They were told to follow

The star up in the heavens

It brought them to the stable of the pretty little baby child.



Could this be the kingdom

Of the High and Mighty

Is this the ruler, born here tonight

Should we lay our treasures

Here by the cradle

"Tell me are you the saviour, pretty little baby child?"



Sometimes the greatest of miracles

Comes from the smallest of things

They knew as they knelt there beside him

They were looking in the eyes of a King.



And that his tiny little fingers

Would bring us together

For ever and ever, this pretty little baby child.



Wonder of wonders there in the darkness

The light of the promise

How it shines in His eyes

The angels are singing

The Hallelujah Chorus

To the saviour before us: pretty little baby child.



Sometimes the greatest of miracles

Comes from the smallest of things

They knew as they knelt there beside him

They were looking in the eyes of a King.



And that his tiny little fingers

Would bring us together

For ever and ever, this pretty little baby child.



For ever and ever, this pretty little baby child...
