¶Lyrics / Text

1. Why, Most Highest, art Thou lying, In a manger poor and low? Thou, the fires of heav’n supplying, Come a stable’s cold to know? Chorus: O what works of love stupendous Were salvation’s price! Burning wert Thou to befriend us, Exiles from Paradise. 2. On a Mother’s breast Thou sleepest, Mother, yet a Virgin still; Sad, with eyes bedimmed Thou weepest, Eyes, which Heaven with gladness fill. Chorus 3. Weak the Strong, of strength the Giver: Small, Whose arms creation span; Bound, Who only can deliver; Born is He Who ne’er began. Chorus
