Who Comes This Night

Song byJames Taylor

in AlbumJames Taylor at Christmas

Who comes this night, this wintry night,

As to the lowly manger?

The Shepards and the Kings did come

To welcome in the stranger.

Who sends this song upon the air,

To ease the soul that's aching?

To still the cry of deep despair

And heal the heart that's breaking.

Brother Joseph bring the light

Fast, the night is fading.

And who will come this wintry night

To where the stranger's waiting?

Who comes this night, with humble heart,

To give the fullest measure

A gift of purest love to bring

What good and worthy treasure.

Brother Joseph bring the lamb

For they are asking for him

The children come this starry night

To lay their hearts before him.

For those who would the stranger greet

Must lay their heart before him

And raise their song in voices sweet

To worship and adore him

Brother Joseph bring the light

Fast, the night is fading

And who will come this wintry night

To where the stranger's waiting

Brother Joseph bring the lamb

For they are asking for him.

The children come this starry night

To lay their hearts before him.

Pure of heart this starry night

To lay their hearts before him.
