What Child is This?

What child is this?
With a hand so small.
Yet touches eternity.

What child is this?
With feet so tiny.
Yet carries truth.

What child is this?
That causes the mighty
to fall on bended knee.
And the humble to
rise in boldness.

What child is this?
Helpless with human form.
Yet changes humanity.

What child is this?
Meek breath of infancy
mingles with songs of angels.
The Word of God made flesh,
announcing miracle ways.
