1. A multitude of heavenly throng,
    Were praising God with rapturous song,
    “Good will,” they say, “and peace on earth,”
    They hail Christ’s birth.

               CHORUS

    To earth is born great David’s Son,
    In lowly manger find Him,
    By meekness He our hearts has won,
    We worship Him.

2. The shepherds cried, a rustic throng,
    And wise men great from distance long,
    Came searching they to Bethlehem,
    For priceless Gem.

3. From days of yore the prophets told,
    With visions clear, and words so bold,
    A child is born, a son is giv’n
    To mortal men.

4. Eternal God had in His plan,
    That He be born as lowly man,
    Thus godliness to men be taught,
    His wisdom sought.

5. The Highest One is now the least,
    The Mighty God, the Prince of Peace,
    He came to serve and also die,
    The Lord from high.
