See! in yonder manger low,
Born for us on earth below,
See! the tender Lamb appears
Promised from eternal years.
Hail, thou ever blessed
morn!
Hail, redemption’s happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem,
‘Christ is born in Bethlehem!’
Lo! within a manger lies
He who built the starry skies,
He who, throned in height sublime
Sits amid the cherubim:
Sacred Infant, all Divine,
What a tender love was thine,
Thus to come from highest bliss
Down to such a world as this!
