Child Jesus Comes from Heav’nly Height

Child Je­sus comes from heav’n­ly height

To save us from sin’s keep­ing;

On man­ger straw

in dark­some night

The Bless­èd One lies sleep­ing.

The star smiles down

the an­gels greet

The ox­en kiss the baby’s feet;

Alleluia

al­le­lu­ia

Child Je­sus

Christ the Lord.

Take cour­age

soul in grief cast down

Forget the bit­ter deal­ing;

A child is born in Da­vid’s town

To touch all souls with heal­ing.

Then let us go and seek the Child

Children like Him

meek

un­de­filed.

Alleluia

al­le­lu­ia

Child Je­sus

Christ the Lord.
