See the baby in the manger,
Our salvation's great exchanger,
Now an exile, now a stranger—
O God and man!
Forgive our each transgression,
Keep us from sin's regression,
Make us thy true possession.
Oh come, oh come and set us free,
O dying babe!
And when the grave shall claim us,
In heaven's rolls rename us
As a living child of thee.
Sleep, baby, sleep.
