A Child is born in Bethlehem,
 exult for joy, Jerusalem!

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 Lo, He who reigns above the skies,
 there, in a manger lowly, lies.

 The ox and ass in neighbouring stall,
 see in that Child the Lord of all.

 And kingly pilgrims, long foretold,
 from East bring incense ,myrrh, and gold.

 Come then, and on this natal day,
 rejoice before the Lord and pray.

 And to the Holy One in Three,
 give praise and thanks eternally.

 And enter with their offerings,
 to hail the new-born King of Kings.

 He comes, a maiden mother's Son,
 yet earthly father hath He none.

 And, from the serpent's poison free,
 He owned our blood and pedigree.

 Our feeble flesh and His the same,
 our sinless kinsman He became.

 That we, from deadly thrall set free,
 like Him, and so like God, should be.

 A Child is Born in Bethlehem,
 In Bethlehem,
 And gladness fills Jerusalem,

Allelujah! Allelujah!

 A lowly manger shelters Him,
 This Holy Boy.
 God's angels sing above with joy.

 We now give thanks eternally,
 Eternally.
 To God, the Holy Trinity,

 A babe is born in Bethlehem,
 Therefore rejoice, Jerusalem.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

 He doth within a manger lie,
 Whose throne is set above the sky.

 Stillness was all the manger round,
 The creature its Creator found.

 The wise men came, led by the star,
 Gold, myrrh and incense, brought from far.

 His mother is the virgin mild,
 And He the Father's only Child.

 Like us, in flesh of human frame,
 Unlike in sin alone He came.

 To fallen man Himself He bowed,
 That He might lift us up to God.

 On this most blessed Jubilee,
 All glory be, O God, to Thee.

 The Holy Trinity be praised,
 To God our ceaseless thanks be raised.

 A babe is born in Bethlehem,
 Rejoice, rejoice Jerusalem;

 A lowly virgin gave Him birth,
 Who rules the heavens and the earth;

 He in a simple manger lay,
 Whom angels praise with joy for aye;

 And wise men from the East did bring,
 Gold, myrrh and incense to the King;

 Now all our fears have passed away,
 The Savior blest was born today;

 God’s blessed children we became,
 And shall in heaven praise His name;

 There like the angels we shall be,
 And shall the Lord in glory see;

 With gladsome praises we adore,
 Our Lord and Savior evermore;

 A Child is born in Bethlehem:
 Rejoice, rejoice, Jerusalem!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

 He Who for ever rules on high,
 In this poor manger deigns to lie.

 In that dear Child, here laid so low,
 The ox and ass their Master know.

 The Eastern monarchs to the King
 Their gold, and myrrh, and incense bring.

 Into the lowly shed they press,
 That each the new-born Prince may bless.

 Born of a Virgin Mother, He
 Child of no earthly sire might be.

 He Who ne'er felt the serpent's sting
 Vouchsafed from our lost race to spring.

 Made flesh, He here man's likeness bare,
 Although man's guilt He could not share.

 That man through Him might be restored
 To the lost image of his Lord.

 To Him, on this His Natal Day,
 Let all their joyful homage pay.

 O God, the Holy Trinity,
 All praise to Thee eternally.
