Lyrics

Child in the manger, infant of Mary,
outcast and stranger, Lord of all!
Child who inherits all our transgressions,
all our demerits on him fall.

Monarchs have tender, delicate children
nourished in splendor, day by day;
death soon shall banish honor and beauty;
pleasure shall vanish, forms decay.

But the most holy Child of salvation
gently and lowly lived below;
now as our glorious mighty Redeemer,
see him victorious o'er each foe.
