[B]
A ray of hope
[F#] flickers in [B] the [E] [B] sky
The tiny star
[E] [B] lights up [F#] way up high
[E] All across the [F#] land
comes a brand [D#m] new morn
[G#m] This [F#] comes to pass
[C#m] [F#] when a [B] child is [E] born
[B] A silent wish
[F#] sails the [B] seven [E] seas
[B] The winds of change
[E] whisper [B] in [F#] the trees
And [E] the walls of doubt
[F#] crumble dust [D#m] and torn
[G#m] This comes [F#] to pass
[C#m] when [F#] a child [B] is born
[F#] [B] [E] [B]
[E] [G#m] [F#]
[E] [F#] [D#m] [G#m] A
[F#] [C#m] [F#] [B] [E] [B]
rosy hue
[F#] settles [B] all [E] around
[B] You've got the feel
[E] you're [B] an [F#] unsullied crowd
[E] For a spell or two
[F#] no one sings [D#m] along
[G#m] This comes [F#] to pass
[C#m] when [F#] a child [B] is born
It's all a dream
[F#] and illusion [B] [E] now
[B] It must come true [E] sometime [B] soon [F#] somehow
[E] All across the land
[F#] comes a brand [D#m] new morn
[G#m] This comes [F#] to pass
[C#m] when [F#] a child [B] is born
[E] All across [F#] the land
comes a brand [D#m] [G#m] new morn
This comes [F#] to pass
[C#m] when a [F#] child [B] is born
This comes [F#] to pass
[C#m] when [F#] a child [B] is born
This comes to pass
