Hush, don't be afraid
Though the night is long before the day
God in a peasant child
Imagine where else She resides
Every breath is hallelujah
We all sing hallelu
This life is fragile, dear
Blessed virgin pierced for love with tears
To bring God near to man
Scar for scar, hand in hand
Every breath is hallelujah
We all sing hallelu
Three gifts of ancient earth
Gold, frankincense, and myrrh
Bound in these you'll find
No man can live if he cannot die
Every breath is hallelujah
We all sing hallelu
