Lyrics:

Infant holy, 
Infant lowly, 
For his bed a cattle stall;
Oxen lowing, 
Little knowing 
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging
Angels singing, 
Nowells ringing,
Tidings bringing,
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.

Flock were sleeping,
Shepherds keeping
Vigil till the morning new;
Saw the glory,
Heard the story,
Tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing,
Free from sorrow,
Praises voicing,
Greet the morrow,
Christ the Babe was born for you!
