|
For Christ is born of Mary, |
|
|
While mortlas sleep, the angels keep |
|
Their watch of wondering love. |
|
O morning stars, together |
|
|
And praises sing to God the King, |
|
And peace to men on earth. |
|
|
How silently, how silently, |
|
The wondrous gift is giv'n! |
|
So God imparts to human hearts |
|
The blessings of His heav'n. |
|
No ear may hear His coming, |
|
But in this world of sin, |
|
Where meek souls will receive Him, still |
|
The dear Christ enters in. |
|
|
O holy Child of Bethlehem! |
|
|
Cast out our sin and enter in, |
|
|
We hear the Christmas angels |
|
The great glad tidings tell; |
|
O come to us, abide with us, |
|
|
