    Lyrics:

    Lo, a Child, born to low estate, lies where ox and lamb are fed
    Nor was found a place more worthy, for this Child no softer bed
    Born to wear a crown of glory, brighter far than earth affords
    For this Child laid in a manger is King of kings and Lord of lords

    Lo his palace is a stable, and his robes are swaddling bands
    Starlight the gem upon his brow, love the scepter in his hand
    Born to wear a crown of glory, brighter far than earth affords
    For this Child laid in a manger is King of kings and Lord of lords

    Holy infant, Son of Mary, born in Bethlehem this night
    He shall be enthroned in heaven, robed in honor, robed in light
    Born to wear a crown of glory, brighter far than earth affords
    For this Child laid in a manger is King of kings and Lord of lords
