Oh, come, little children,
oh, come, one and all,
To Bethlehem’s stable,
in Bethlehem’s stall.
And see with rejoicing
this glorious sight,
Our Father in heaven
has sent us this night.
Oh, see in the manger,
in hallowèd light
A star throws its beam
on this holiest sight.
In clean swaddling clothes
lies the heavenly Child,
More lovely than angels,
this Baby so mild.
Oh, there lies the Christ Child,
on hay and on straw;
The shepherds are kneeling
before Him with awe.
And Mary and Joseph
smile on Him with love,
While angels are singing
sweet songs from above.
