“Zechariahʼs Lullaby”
Tune: CRADLE SONG 11.11.11.11 (“Away in a Manger”)
Text: Anna Strickland, 2021
Music: William J. Kirkpatrick, 1895

When old Zechariah held his baby son
He blessed him and dreamed of what he would become
As baby John rocked in the temple that morn
This song Zechariah sang for his newborn

“And you child will be called a prophet of Christ
To bring hope to hearts and to shadows the light
For God has sent visions of what you will do
A dream to proclaim and a world to renew”

We lay a foundation for what is to be
Not knowing yet praying for what we canʼt see
We trust in Godʼs imagination to build
From blueprints and hope for a dream yet fulfilled ©
