Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- The Babe in Bethl'em's manger laid,
- In humble form so low,
- By wond'ring angels is surveyed
- Thro' all His scenes of woe.
- Chorus:
- Noël, Noël
- Now sing a Savior's birth,
- All hail His coming down to earth,
- Who raises us to heav'n.
- 2.
- A Savior, sinners all around!
- Sing, shout the wondrous word;
- Let every bosom hail the sound,
- A Savior! Christ the Lord.
- (Chorus)
- 3.
- For, not to sit on David's throne
- With worldly pomp and joy,
- He came for sinners to atone,
- And Satan to destroy.
- (Chorus)
- 4.
- To preach the word of life divine,
- And feed with living bread,
- To heal the sick with hand benign,
- And raise to life the dead.
- (Chorus)
- 5.
- He preached, he suffered, bled and died,
- Uplift 'twixt earth and skies;
- In sinner's stead was crucified,
- For sin to sacrifice.
- (Chorus)
- 6.
- Well may we sing a Savior's birth,
- Who need the grace so given,
- And hail His coming down to earth,
- Who raises us to heaven.
- (Chorus)
