The Saviour, of the Virgin born,
Was in a humble manger laid,
He Lord of all, our flesh assumed,
By whom the heavens and earth were made.
His life the tyrant Herod sought,
And every subtle art did try;
To worship him he made pretence,
That he the infant might destroy.
But power divine his life preserved,
And now he reigns above the sky;
To him who once from Herod fled,
Now multitudes for safety fly.
