- A draughty stable with an open door;
- Mary cradling the babe she bore;
- The Prince of glory is His name.

- O now carry me to Bethlehem,
- To see the Lord appear to men;
- Just as poor as was the stable then,
- The Prince of glory when He came.

- Show where Jesus in the manger lies;
- Shepherds, swiftly from your stupor rise
- To see the Saviour of the world.

- Angels, sing again the song you sang,
- Bring God's glory to the heart of man;
- Sing that Bethlehem's little baby can
- Be salvation to the soul.

- Mine are riches, from Thy poverty,
- From Thine innocence, eternity;
- Mine, forgiveness by Thy death for me,
- Child of sorrow for my joy.
