Repeat the dear old sto­ry
Repeat the dear old sto­ry
And songs of joy were then up­raised.
Whose throne they sought afar,
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
start
And screened from froz­en sky.
Now they checked their ea­ger tread,
start
Tell to me the sweet old sto­ry
A mo­nu­ment of hon­or raise;
Or in the rug­ged stalls.
In the low­ly man­ger ly­ing,
There an­gels at Thy foot­stool bow,
An old man knelt at a man­ger low,
That en­tranc­ing sight,

babe

But it holds the world in its in­fant hand;
Here laid in a man­ger bed,
Swift are wing­ing an­gels sing­ing,
Great Lord of earth and sea and sky,
His throne a low­ly man­ger,
His throne a low­ly man­ger,
And may such joy be ev­er mine!
Silver star, ho­ly light,
Why lies He in such mean es­tate,
Within a man­ger lay,
Save low­ly man­ger stall,
A mo­ther’s song the vir­gin sung.
In yon­der low­ly place;
How He came to earth from Heav­en
Declare the won­ders of Thy praise.
Thou dost Thy mo­ther’s will,
Round Him beams the light un­dy­ing,
When glor­ious in the night­ly sky
The star­light played on the In­fant brow,
Leads pure souls to light.
