##(Verse 1)
She rocked her tiny baby to warm him from the cold
Hardly what she pictured In the prophecies of old
It seemed almost impossible to think it could be true
But as she pondered in her heart She knew

##(Verse 2)
The angels must have missed Him as they sang Him to sleep
But they marveled at the promises this baby came to keep
His Father must have felt at once great sadness and great joy
As He watched His little baby boy

##(Verse 3)
Because they knew this was heaven's child

##(Chorus 1)
This was heaven's child, this was heaven's child
In an earthen vessel wrapped in Glory, meek and mild
Joseph wept with wonder as Mary sweetly smiled
Because they knew this was heaven's child

##(Chorus 3)
He was heaven's child, He was heaven's child
In an earthen stable wrapped in glory, meek and mild
Joseph wept with wonder as Mary sweetly smiled
Because they knew this was heaven's child
