Though poor be the chamber, Come here, come and adore; Lo! the Lord of heaven Hath to mortals given Life forevermore, Life forevermore, Life forevermore. Shepherds who folded your flocks beside you, Tell what was told by angel voices near: To you this night is born he who will guide you Thro' paths of peace to living waters clear. Though poor be the chamber, Come here, and adore; Lo! the Lord of heaven Hath to mortals given Life forevermore, Life forevermore. Kings from a far land, draw near and behold him, Led by the beam whose warning bade ye come; Your crowns cast down, with robe royal enfold him; Your king descends to earth from brighter home. Though poor be the chamber, come here, come and adore; Lo! the Lord of Heaven Hath to mortals given Life forevermore. Wind, to the cedars proclaim the joyful story, Wave of the sea, the tidings bear afar; The night is gone! Behold in all its glory All broad and bright rises th'eternal morning star. Though poor be the chamber, come here, come and adore; Lo! the Lord of Heaven Hath to mortals given Life forevermore, Life forevermore, Life forevermore.
