Oh, come, little children, oh,
come, one and all,
To Bethlehem’s stable, in
Bethlehem’s stall.
And see with rejoicing this
glorious sight,
Our Father in heaven has sent
us this night.
Oh, see in the
manger, in hallowèd light
A star throws its beam on this
holiest sight.
In clean swaddling clothes lies
the heavenly Child,
More lovely than angels, this
Baby so mild.
Oh, there lies the Christ
Child, on hay and on straw;
The shepherds are kneeling
before Him with awe.
And Mary and Joseph smile on
Him with love,
While angels are singing sweet
songs from above.
