Tune: | COME TO THE MANGER |
Composer: | S. P. Waddington |
Refrain:
Come, come, come to the manger,
children, come, to the children’s King;
sing, sing, chorus of angels,
star of morning o’er Bethlehem sing.
1 He lies ’mid the beasts of the stall,
who is Maker and Lord of us all,
the wintry wind blows cold and dreary,
see, he weeps, the world is weary;
Lord, have pity and mercy on me! [Refrain]
2 He leaves all his glory behind,
to be Savior of all humankind,
with grateful beasts his cradle chooses,
thankless world his love refuses;
Lord, have pity and mercy on me! [Refrain]
3 To the manger of Bethlehem come,
to the Saviour Emmanuel’s home;
the heav’nly hosts above are singing,
set the Christmas bells a-ringing,
Lord, have pity and mercy on me! [Refrain]
