Child in the manger, Infant of Mary
Outcast and Stranger, Lord of all
Child Who inherits all our transgressions
All our demerits on Him fall.
Once the most holy Child of salvation
Gently and lowly lived below
Now as our glorious mighty Redeemer
See Him victorious o'er each foe.
Prophets foretold Him, Infant of wonder
Angels behold Him on His throne
Worthy our Savior of all our praises
Happy forever are His own...
Outcast and Stranger, Lord of all
Child Who inherits all our transgressions
All our demerits on Him fall.
Once the most holy Child of salvation
Gently and lowly lived below
Now as our glorious mighty Redeemer
See Him victorious o'er each foe.
Prophets foretold Him, Infant of wonder
Angels behold Him on His throne
Worthy our Savior of all our praises
Happy forever are His own...
