Child in the manger,
Infant of Mary,
Outcast and stranger, Lord of all,
Child who inherits
All our transgressions.
All our demerits on him fall.

Once the most holy
Child of Salvation 
Gently and lowly lived below 
Now, as our glorious
Mighty Redeemer
See him victorious o'er each foe 

Prophets foretold him,
Infant of wonder;
Angels behold him on his throne;
Worthy our Saviour
Of all their praises;
Happy for ever are his own.
