'''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.
