A babe in the man­ger,
A song in the sky;
On earth a be­ne­dict­ion,
Rejoicing on high.
A glo­ry for Ju­dah,
A won­der­ful light,
To light­en the Gen­tiles
In sor­row and night.

Refrain

A babe in the man­ger,
A song in the sky;
On earth a be­ne­dict­ion,
Rejoicing on high.

A prince and a Sav­ior,
Immanuel, our king;
A ne­ver ­fail­ing king­dom
Of bless­ing to bring.
A king­dom of mer­cy,
Of love, and of peace,
Whose pow­er and whose glo­ry
Shall ev­er in­crease.

Refrain

Glad day­spring from Hea­ven,
Now break up­on our night;
For morn­ing bring glad­ness,
For dark­ness give light.
Hail, Son of the High­est,
Redeemer di­vine;
The an­gels are Thy her­alds,
The star is Thy sign.

Refrain

Preparèd is Thy path­way,
In pass­ion of pain;
Eternal Thy glo­ry,
Eternal is Thy reign,
Our pro­phet, priest and Sav­ior;
Sing, an­gels in the sky,
Shine, stars, at your bright­est;
Redemption is nigh.
