And when they came to Bethlehem Good Christian men rejoice
Where our dear Savior lay With heart and soul and voice

Unto the Lord did pray Calls you one and calls you all
To gain His everlasting hall

If Thou know'st it telling Glory to the newborn King
Yonder peasant who is he
Where and what his dwelling Verse 2

By Saint Agnes' fountain Offspring of a virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see

Bring me flesh and bring me wine Pleased as man with men to dwell

And the bitter weather Hail the Sun of righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Verse 4 Ris'n with healing in His wings
Sire the night is darker now Mild He lays His glory by
And the wind blows stronger Born that man no more may die
Fails my heart I know not how Born to raise the sons of earth
I can go no longer Born to give them second birth
Mark my footsteps my good page Hark the herald angels sing
Tread thou in them boldly Glory to the newborn King
Thou shalt find the winter's rage

O come, Thou Key of David, come Truly He taught us to love one another

And in his name all oppression shall cease
