Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2066787
Verse 1
Now
Out of the night
Soft as the dawn
Into the light
This child
Innocent child
Soft as a fawn
This child is born

Verse 2
One small heart
One pair of eyes
One work of art
Here in my arms
Here she lies
Trusting and warm
Blessed is the morn
A child is born

Trombone Solo

Piano Solo

Verse 2
One small heart
One pair of eyes
One work of art
Here in my arms
Here she lies
Trusting and warm
Blessed is the morn
A child is born
Blessed is the mornin'
A child is born
