We thought You'd come with a crown of gold
A string of pearls and a cashmere robe We thought You'd clinch an iron fist And rain like fire on the politics
But without a sword, no armored guard
But common born in mother's arms The government now rests upon The shoulders of this Baby Son
Have you no room inside your heart
The inn is full, the out is dark But upon profane shines sacred sun Not ashamed to be one of us
But without a sword, no armored guard
But common born in mother's arms The government now rests upon The shoulders of this Baby Son
Gloria, Allelu
Christ the Lord We've longed for You Gloria, Allelu Christ the Lord We've longed for You Gloria, Allelu Christ the Lord We've longed for You
