O Come, Little Children

1. O come, little children, O come, one and all,
To Bethlehem's stable, in Bethlehem's stall
And see with rejoicing this glorious sight,
Our Father in heaven has sent us this night.

2. O see in the manger, in hallowed light
A star throws its beam on this holiest sight.
In clean swaddling clothes lies the heavenly Child,
More lovely than angels, this Baby so mild.

3. O there lies the Christ Child, on hay and on straw;
The shepherds are kneeling before Him with awe
And Mary and Joseph smile on Him with love,
While angels are singing sweet songs from above.

O Come, Little Children (alternate translation)

1. O Come, little children, O come, one and all
To Bethlehem haste, to the manger so small.
God's Son for a gift has been sent you this night
To be your redeemer, your joy and delight.

2. The hay is His pillow, the manger His bed
The beasts stand in wonder to gaze on His head
Yet there where He lieth, so weak and so poor
Come shepherds and wise men to kneel at His door.

3. He's born in a stable for you and for me
Draw near by the bright gleaming starlight to see
In swaddling clothes lying so meek and so mild,
And purer than angels the heavenly Child.

4. See Mary and Joseph with love beaming eyes
Are gazing upon the rude bed where He lies,
The shepherds are kneeling, with hearts full of love,
While angels sing loud hallelujahs above.

5. Kneel down and adore Him with shepherds today,
Lift up little hands now and praise Him as they;
Rejoice that a Savior from sin you can boast
And join in the song of the heavenly Host.

6. Now Glory to God! sing the angels on high
And Peace upon Earth! heavenly voices reply.
Then come, little children, and join in the day
That gladdened the world on that first Christmas Day.
