1 When Christmas morn is dawning
In faith I would repair
Unto the lowly manger;
My Saviour lieth there,
Unto the lowly manger;
My Saviour lieth there. A-men.
2 How kind, O loving Saviour,
To come from heaven above;
From sin and evil save us,
And keep us in thy love.
3 We need thee, blessèd Jesus,
Our dearest friend thou art;
Forbid that we by sinning
Should grieve thy loving heart. A-men
Amen.
