Child in the manger, infant of Mary,
come as a stranger born in the stall;
Sweet little Jesus sent down from heaven,
God's gift of new life offered to all.
Prophets foretold Christ: God coming down to
us,
Angels sing praises near God's throne;
Alleluia! Messiah is come now,
happy and blesséd are God's own.
