A Babe Is Born in Bethlehem

A babe is born in Beth­le­hem

Beth­le­hem

Therefore re­joice Je­ru­sa­lem

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Within a man­ger He doth lie

He doth lie

Whose throne is set above the sky.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Stillness was all the man­ger round

man­ger round

The crea­ture its cre­at­or found.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

The wise men came

led by the star

by the star

Gold

myrrh

and in­cense brought from far.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

His mo­ther is the vir­gin mild

vir­gin mild

And He the Fa­ther’s on­ly child.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

The ser­pent’s wound He bear­eth not

bear­eth not

Yet takes our blood

and shares our lot

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Our hu­man flesh He en­ters in

en­ters in

But bears no sin­gle taint of sin.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

To fall­en man Him­self He bowed

self He bowed

That He might lift us up to God.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

On this most bless­èd Ju­bi­lee

Ju­bi­lee

All glo­ry be

O God

to Thee.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

O Ho­ly Three

we Thee ad­ore

Thee ad­ore

This day

hence­forth

for­ev­er­more.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!
