 In a manger Thou art laid; By that pure and gentle Maid;

of David! Israel's !

Now Thou dost Salvation bring.

Thou, the Day-spring from on high,

Risest, and the shadows fly:

From the joyful East art Thou

A, 'fore whom all earth shall bow!



Where the humble shepherds waking,

Kept their guard throughout the night;

Suddenly the heavens breaking,

Poured around them glorious light;

Then an Angel quick descended,

Clothed in holy majesty,

While the men with awe attended;

And amazed at what they see,
