- The shepherds saw in Eastern sky,
- Star of promise shining bright,
- Ever gleaming, gleaming ever,
- With its bright effulgent light.
- Refrain:
- Blessed Saviour, Son of Mary,
- In a stable He was born,
- Holy Angels watching o'er Him,
- On that natal Christmas morn.

- In David's city, ere the dawn,
- In a manger, Christ was born,
- Holy Angels watching o'er Him,
- On that natal Christmas morn.

- House of David, Prince and King,
- Came our Saviour, infant Jesus,
- And His praises we will sing.
