child in a manger

child in the manger

infant of mary

outcast and stranger

lord of us all

child who inherits all our transgressions

all our demerits upon him fall

once the most holy child of salvation

gently and lowly lived here below

now as our glorious mighty redeemer

see him victorious o'er each foe

prophets foretold him

infant of wonder

angels behold him on his throne

worthy our savior of all our praises

happy forever are his own
