a manger His cradle in Bethlehem.
1. What shall we call Him,
child of the manger?
What name is given in Bethlehem?
His name is Jesus,
God ever with us,
God given for us in Bethlehem.
That Boy-Child of Mary was born in a stable,
a manger His cradle in Bethlehem.
2. How can He save us,
how can He help us,
born here among us in Bethlehem?
Gift of the Father,
to human mother,
makes Him our brother of Bethlehem.
That Boy-Child of Mary was born in a stable,
a manger His cradle in Bethlehem.
3. One with the Father, He is our Savior,
heaven-sent helper of Bethlehem.
Gladly we praise Him,
love and adore Him,
give ourselve to Him of Bethlehem.
That Boy-Child of Mary was born in a stable,
a manger His cradle in Bethlehem.
