From heav’n above to earth I come
To bear good news to ev’ry home
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
Whereof I now will say and sing
To you this night is born a child
Of Mary, chosen virgin mild;
This little child, of lowly birth
Shall be the joy of all the earth
This is the Christ, our God and Lord
Who in all need shall aid afford
He will Himself your Savior be
From all your sins to set you free
ah, dearest jesus, holy child
prepare a bed, soft, underfiled
a quiet chamber in my heart
that you and i may never part
