As the nude bird­ling in its mo­ther’s nest,
To Beth­le­hem hast­en,
He’s got the whole world in His hands.
Long ago, when Pha­raoh’s daugh­ter walked along the riv­er­side,
Far away across the sea,
Made a man­ger cra­dle bright.
Echo through the skies.
I, too, shall soon be laid to rest,
Every face is bright­er
Grant them Thy bless­ing,
To slay their foes and lift them high;
On Christ­mas day, far, far away,

Thy fa­ther guards the sheep,
Immanuel, the Ho­ly Son, Shep­herd, Rul­er, Migh­ty One.
Immanuel, the Ho­ly Son, Shep­herd, Rul­er, Migh­ty One.
I, said the wa­ter deep.
They rode ov­er rock and they rode ov­er sand,
In a man­ger laid,
Just like you and me;
Oh, like an an­gel, may she ev­er be!
God shows His great kind­ness
He’s got the ti­ny lit­tle ba­by in His hands,
Tiny ba­by! Did his mo­ther give him up so he might live?
On a vir­gin mo­ther’s knee.
Pillowed soft up­on the hay;
Love shall make the night
Safe is ba­by, earth’s ang­uish done,
Every heart is light­er
Lead them un­to Thee
That made a wo­man cry.
Starlight was shed up­on His bed,
With Lul­la­by, lul­la­by, beau­ti­ful Child!
