Jesus,
Son of Man,
child of heav´n above,
safe in Mary´s arms:
bountiful spring of love.
Deep in the darkest night,
see!
the starry cross shines bright on His name.
Jesus, child of light,
born on this holy night.

Dark
was
Bethlehem;
kept
their watch.
In His mother’s arms
snuggled the tiny child;
God’s angels thronged around,
pointed to the stable lit by the star.
Jesus, child of light,
born on this holy night. |

Choirs
of angels sing
wondrous songs of love:
In His mother’s arms
snugly
our Saviour rests;
He bodes eternity,
paradise
and peace He promises us.
Jesus, child of light,
born on this holy night.
