1 In Bethlehem, the lowly,
A Child for us is born,
The Son of God incarnate,
This happy Christmas morn,
Aye, aye, aye, aye, this Happy Christmas morn.

2 And while in awe I ponder
Thy mystery divine,
My heart is lost in wonder
That Christ is also mine
Aye, aye, aye, aye, that Christ is also mine.

3 O dearest Child, how can I
Repay Thy wondrous love
In which thou com'st to save me
From Thy great throne above?
Aye, aye, aye, aye, from Thy great throne above.

4 My life, my all, I bring Thee;
Oh, grant me, I implore,
Thy grace to serve and love Thee
Now and forevermore.
Aye, aye, aye, aye, now and forevermore.
