when christmas morn is dawning
in faith i would repair
unto the lowly manger
my savior lieth there
unto the lowly manger
my savior lieth there
how kind
o loving savior
to come from heav'n above
from sin and evil save us
and keep us in thy love
from sin and evil save us
and keep us in thy love
we need thee
blessed jesus
our dearest friend thou art
forbid that we by sinning
should grieve thy loving heart
forbid that we by sinning
should grieve thy loving heart
