It is the very darkest time When night dominates day When the sky always seems to be
A permanent shade of grey
All seems to be closing in
Sadness and tension are high
And storm clouds on the horizon
Are not only those in the sky
Just as the walls of a stable
And the rule of cruel empire
Closed in all those years ago
On a young family in a byre
Then it was time for light
To shine through the darkness and gloom
Even in a lowly stable
Even when there was no room
Today there are those in stables
Who have no other place to stay
They desperately need the light of hope
To illuminate their way
Across the world the light goes out
Nothing seems for the best
But lighting a candle is still better
Than simply cursing the darkness
Now is the time for real courage
To stand so tall and strong
Now is the time to make it clear
The difference between right and wrong
So, at this time remember the family
And their baby in the manger
And remember all those whose lives are blighted
By pain and sorrow and danger
