English text
- 1.
- Lo, a Child, born to low estate, lies where ox and lamb are fed
- Nor was found a place more worthy, for this Child no softer bed
- Born to wear a crown of glory, brighter far than earth affords
- For this Child laid in a manger is King of kings and Lord of lords
- 2.
- Lo his palace is a stable, and his robes are swaddling bands
- Starlight the gem upon his brow, love the scepter in his hand
- Born to wear a crown of glory, brighter far than earth affords
- For this Child laid in a manger is King of kings and Lord of lords
- 3.
- Holy infant, Son of Mary, born in Bethlehem this night
- He shall be enthroned in heaven, robed in honor, robed in light
- Born to wear a crown of glory, brighter far than earth affords
- For this Child laid in a manger is King of kings and Lord of lords
