English text
O dear little children, O come one and all,
Draw near to the crib, here in Bethlehem's stall
And see what a bright ray of heaven's delight
Our Father has sent on this thrice holy night
He lies there, O children on hay and on straw,
Dear Mary and Joseph regard Him with awe,
The shepherds adoring, bow humbly in pray'r
Angelical choirs with song rending the air.
O see in the crib low concealing His might,
See here by the rays of the clear shiing light,
In cleanliest swaddle the Heaenly Child
More beauteous than legions of hosts undefiled.
O children bend low and ador Him today,
O lift up your hands liek the shepherds, and pray
Sing joyfully, children, with hearts full of love
In jubilant song join the angels above.
