Child in the manger

Child in the manger,
infant of Mary,
outcast and stranger,
Lord of all!
Child who inherits
all our transgressions,
all our demerits
on him fall.

2. Once the most holy
child of salvation
gently and lowly
lived below:
now as our glorious
mighty Redeemer,
see him victorious
over each foe.

3. Prophets foretold him,
infant of wonder,
angels behold him
on his throne:
worthy our Saviour
of all their praises;
happy for ever
are his own.
