To the seeker, He's the Way;

He is Ruth’s Kinsman Redeemer,

What Child is this?

He is David’s Covenant King,

He is Esther’s Intercessor-Advocate,

He is Nehemiah’s Restorer,

He is Job’s Redeemer,

hat Child is this?

He’s the poet's greatest theme,

He’s the composer’s sweetest music,

He’s the sinner's dearest friend.

What Child is this?

He’s the healer of broken hearts,

He’s the mender of broken friendships,

He’s the restorer of broken dreams.

What Child is This?

To the weary, He is wonderful;

to the confused, He is the counselor;

to the weak, He is the mighty God;

to the orphaned, He is the everlasting Father;

to the desperate, He is the Prince of Peace.

In His life, He is humanity’s only perfection,

in His death, He is humanity’s only Savior,
