Who is this baby? and what is his name?
He is Christ Jesus, for ever the same:
King of all kings and the Lord of all lords,
Saviour eternal, the true living Word!

2 Look at him lying asleep in the stall:
who would have thought he’s the Lord over all,
paying the price with his life for our sin?
Wise men and shepherds alike worship him.

3 See now the rising of dawn into day,
lighting our darkness and showing the way!
Come now rejoicing with praises and sing?
bow down before him and worship the King!
