There was a story I was told, How a King in days of old, Would change the hearts of the meek and bold, The King as a babe comes down And men would seek Him on that day, Bearing gifts from their homes to pay, The King who in a manger lay, The King as babe comes down CHORUS: A shining star for all to see, News of men can now be free, Peace for all eternity, The King as a babe comes down [Musical Bridge] To the slave with shackles on his feet, Who toils hard in the cold and heat, Victory is twice as sweet, The King as a babe comes down, To the weak and body faint of heart, Souls lost and torn apart, His Light shines in the darkest dark, The King as a babe comes down CHORUS He comes to comfort those who've cried, Know your plea hasn't been denied, For you the stone was rolled aside, The King as a babe comes down He comes to do His perfect will, Comes to die on Calvary's hill, But leave and find Salvation still, The King as a babe comes down. Chorus
