Behold a simple tender Babe,
In freezing winter night.
I lowly manger trembling lies,
Alas! a piteous sight.
The inns are full; no man would yield
This little pilgrim bed.
But forced is He with silly beasts,
In crib to shroud His head.


Behold a simple tender Babe,<br>
Weigh not His crib, His wooden dish
In freezing winter night.<br>
Nor beasts that round Him press.
I lowly manger trembling lies,<br>
Weigh not His Mother's poor attire,
Alas! a piteous sight.<br>
Nor Joseph's simple dress,
The inns are full; no man would yield<br>
This stable is a prince's court,
This little pilgrim bed.<br>
His crib a chair of state.
But  forced is He with silly beasts,<br>
The beasts are parcel of His pomp,
In crib to shroud His head.
<br><br>
Weigh not His crib, His wooden dish<br>
Nor beasts that round Him press.<br>
Weigh not His Mother's poor attire,<br>
Nor Joseph's simple dress,<br>
This stable is a prince's court,<br>
His crib a chair of state.<br>
The beasts are parcel of His pomp,<br>
The wooden dish, His plate.
The wooden dish, His plate.
<br><br>
 
The persons in that poor attire<br>
The persons in that poor attire
His royal liveries wear;<br>
His royal liveries wear;
The Prince himself is come from Heaven,<br>
The Prince himself is come from Heaven,
His pomp is prized there,<br>
His pomp is prized there,
With joy approach, O Christian soul<br>
With joy approach, O Christian soul
Do homage to thy King.<br>
Do homage to thy King.
And highly prize His humble pomp,<br>
And highly prize His humble pomp,
Which He from heaven doth bring.
Which He from heaven doth bring.}}

Behold a simple tender Babe,
In freezing winter night.
I lowly manger trembling lies,
Alas! a piteous sight.
The inns are full; no man would yield
This little pilgrim bed.
But forced is He with silly beasts,
In crib to shroud His head.

Weigh not His crib, His wooden dish
Nor beasts that round Him press.
Weigh not His Mother's poor attire,
Nor Joseph's simple dress,
This stable is a prince's court,
His crib a chair of state.
The beasts are parcel of His pomp,
The wooden dish, His plate.

The persons in that poor attire
His royal liveries wear;
The Prince himself is come from Heaven,
His pomp is prized there,
With joy approach, O Christian soul
Do homage to thy King.
And highly prize His humble pomp,
Which He from heaven doth bring.
