THE GIFT OF A CHILD 561
The gift of a child
Is a wonderful thing
It makes the heart
Skip a beat
And resurging hope
Take wing
The gift of a child
Is a magical thing
It makes old folks
Grow younger
And silent voices
Sing
The gift of a child
Is a most holy thing
A gift far greater
Than any Magi
Could ever bring
