Oxen low­ing, lit­tle know­ing,
The sto­ry of the Christ child,
The sto­ry of the Christ child,
Whose throne they sought afar,
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
Now they checked their ea­ger tread,
Tell to me the sweet old sto­ry
Deep si­lence lay o’er all;
That en­tranc­ing sight,

the Babe

Swift are wing­ing an­gels sing­ing,
Tell how the shep­herds watch­ing,
Tell how the shep­herds watch­ing,
Silver star, ho­ly light,
Why lies He in such mean es­tate,
A mo­ther’s song the vir­gin sung.
How He came to earth from Heav­en
There is the King! O there! O there!
Leads pure souls to light.
