1
Child in the manger
Infant of Mary
Outcast and stranger
Lord of all
Child who inherits
All our transgressions
All our demerits
On Him fall
2
Once the most holy
Child of salvation
Gently and lowly
Lived below
Now as our glorious
Mighty Redeemer
See Him victorious
O’er each foe
3
Prophets foretold Him
Infant of wonder
Angels behold Him
On His throne
Worthy our Savior
Of all our praises
Happy forever
Are His own
