God of God
Light of Light
Lo! He abhors not the Virgin's womb;
Very God
Begotten, not created

[Refrain]

See how the shepherds
Summoned to His cradle
Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze!
We, too, will thither
Bend our hearts' oblations

[Refrain]

Lo, star-led chieftains
Magi, Christ adoring
Offer Him incense, gold and myrrh;
We to the Christ-child
Bring our hearts' oblations

[Refrain]

Child, for us sinners
Poor and in the manger
Fain we embrace Thee with love and awe;
Who would not love Thee
Loving us so dearly?
[Refrain]

Sing, choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
"Glory to God
In the highest!"

[Refrain]

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee
Born this happy morning
Jesus, to Thee be all glory given;
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing!

[Refrain]
