Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy
Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile

Now the world is waiting, People want to hear,
What in Bethlehem had happened, that brought the Saviour near.
Now my hope starts rising for another day,
With eternal love and justice finally on the way.

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy.
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy.
Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile,
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile.

That's the way it happened many years ago,
With the sky above us shining in a wondrous glow
Now the world is waiting, People want to hear,
What in Bethlehem had happened, that  brought the Saviour near.

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy.
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy.
Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile,
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile.
