Original text and translations

English text

1. Low in a humble manger
   Jesus, the Christ-Child lay,
   Watched by the virgin mother
   There on the fragrant hay;
   Keeping her loving vigil
   Far from the worldly throngs,
   When thro' the night came ringing
   Glorious angel songs.

Refrain:
   "Glory to God," the angels sing,
   Praises to Christ, the heav'nly King;
   "Peace on the earth, goodwill to men,"
   Hear we the angel song again. (2X)

2. Little the loving mother
   Dreamed of their meaning then;
   How he should die on Calv'ry,
   Die for the sins of men.
   But down the weary ages,
   Out from that manger bed,
   Streams all the light of heaven,
   Soon o'er the world to spread. (Repeat Refrain)
