Infant Holy, Infant Lowly

1 Infant holy, Infant lowly,  
For His bed– a cattle stall;  
Oxen lowing, little knowing  
Christ, the Babe, is Lord of all.  
Swift are winging angels singing,  
Noels ringing, tidings bringing:  
Christ, the Babe, is Lord of all!  
Christ, the Babe, is Lord of all!  

2 Flocks were sleeping; shepherds keeping  
Vigil till the morning new  
Saw the glory, heard the story–  
Tidings of a gospel true.  
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,  
Praises voicing greet the morrow:  
Christ, the Babe, was born for you!  
Christ, the Babe, was born for you!
