Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- Come, ye lofty, come, ye lowly,
- Let your songs of gladness ring;
- In a stable lies the Holy,
- In a manger rests the King:
- See in Mary’s arms reposing
- Christ by highest Heav’n adored:
- Come, your circle round Him closing,
- Pious hearts that love the Lord.
- 2.
- Come ye poor, no pomp of station
- Robes the Child your hearts adore;
- He, the Lord of all salvation,
- Shares your want, is weak and poor:
- Oxen, round about behold them;
- Rafters naked, cold, and bare,
- See the shepherds, God has told them
- That the Prince of Life lies there.
- 3.
- Come, ye children, blithe and merry,
- This one Child your model make;
- Christmas holly, leaf, and berry,
- All be prized for His dear sake:
- Come ye gentle hearts and tender,
- Come ye spirits keen and bold;
- All in all your homage render,
- Weak and mighty, young and old.
- 4.
- High above a star is shining,
- And the wise men haste from far:
- Come, glad hearts, and spirits pining—
- For you all has ris’n the star.
- Let us bring our poor oblations,
- Thanks and love, and faith and praise;
- Come, ye people, come, ye nations,
- All in all draw nigh to gaze.
- 5.
- Hark the Heav’n of heav’ns is ringing:
- Christ the Lord to man is born!
- Are not all our hearts, too, singing,
- Welcome, welcome, Christmas morn?
- Still the Child, all power possessing,
- Smiles as through the ages past;
- And the song of Christmas blessing
- Sweetly sinks to rest at last.
