TEXT:
Infant holy, Infant lowly,
For His bed a cattle stall;
Oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
Noels ringing, tidings bringing:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ the babe is Lord of all!
Christ the babe is Lord of all!
 
Flocks were sleeping; shepherds keeping
Vigil till the morning new
Saw the glory, heard the story,
Tidings of the gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
praises voicing greet the morrow:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ the babe was born for you!
Christ the babe was born for you!
