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 Gentle and lowly lived below. Now as our glorious mighty Redeemer, See Him victorious over each foe. Prophets foretold Him, infant of wonder; Angels behold Him on His throne. Worthy our Saviour of all their praises; Happy forever are His own.
