Come to Bethlehem and see "Glory to the newborn King!
 What Child is This?
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
 Peace on earth and mercy mild
 The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes

Come, adore on bended knee, God and sinners reconciled"
 What Child is this who, laid to rest
 But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes


Christ the Lord, the newborn King. Joyful, all ye nations rise
 On Mary's lap is sleeping?
 I love Thee, Lord Jesus look down from the sky
Join the triumph of the skies
 Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
 and stay by my side,’ Till morning is nigh.


See Him in a manger laid,
 With the angelic host proclaim:
 While shepherds watch are keeping?

Whom the choirs of angels praise;
 "Christ is born in Bethlehem"
 This, this is Christ the King,
 Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
 Hark! The herald angels sing
 Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;

While our hearts in love we raise.
