2. Why lies He in such mean estate, 3. So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Where ox and ass are feeding? Come peasant, King to own Him;
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here The King of kings, salvation brings;
The silent Word is pleading: Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through, Raise, raise, the song on high,
The Cross be borne, for me, for you: The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh, Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary! The Babe, the Son of Mary!
