Child in the manger, Infant of Mary
Came as a stranger born in a stall
Sweet little Jesus sent down from heaven
God's gift of new life offered to all

Once the most Holy Child of salvation
Gently and lowly lay here below
Blessed Peacemaker, Mighty Redeemer
See Him victorious over each foe

Prophets foretold Him, Infant of wonder
Angels behold Him there on His throne
Worthy the Savior of all our praises
Happy and ever blessed are His own
