::::''1.''
:Hail the blest morn! when the great Mediator
:Down from the mansions of glory descends;
:Shepherds, go worship the babe in the manger,
:Lo! for his guard the bright angels attend.
 
::''Chorus:''
::Brightest and best of the sons of the morning.
::Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
::Star in the east, the horizon adorning,
::Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
 
::::''2.''
:Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining;
:Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall:
:Angels adore him, in slumbers reclining;
:Wise men and shepherds before him do fall. ''Chorus''
 
::::''3.''
:Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion,
:Odors of Edom, and offerings divine,
:Gems from the mountains, and pearls from the ocean,
:Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? ''Chorus''
 
::::''4.''
:Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
:Vainly with gifts would his favor secure;
:Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
:Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. ''Chorus''}}
