Lyrics
See in the manger, newborn babb King,
Who can know the changes this timy child will bring?
Precious gifts the wise men bear to the holy boy
Lose their lustre in the light of His gift of love and joy.
Tidings of wonder angels singing tell
To the lonely shepherds on hills where they do dwell,
"Hurry now to Bethlehem for the Babe to see,
Lying in a manger low waits a blessing there for thee."
Sing, Mother Mary, sing that He may sleep,
Think not of tomorrow when for Him you shall weep.
For to save the souls of man comes your baby boy,
We are blessed evermore for His gift of love and joy.
