Hymnal: Christian Hymns #297 (1898) Meter: 8.4.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A Babe is born in Bethlehem,
In Bethlehem,
Therefore rejoice, Jerusalem.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
2 He doth within a manger lie,
A manger lie,
Whose throne is set above the sky.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
3 Stillness was all the manger round,
The manger round,
The creature its Creator found.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
4 The wise men came, led by the star,
Led by the star,
Gold, myrrh, and incense, brought from far.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
5 His mother is the Virgin mild,
The Virgin mild,
And He the Father’s only Child.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
6 The serpent’s wound He beareth not,
He beareth not,
Yet takes our blood, and shares our lot.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
7 Our human flesh He enters in,
He enters in,
But bears no single taint of sin.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
8 To fallen man Himself He bowed,
Himself He bowed,
That He might lift us up to God.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
9 On this most blessed Jubilee,
Best jubilee,
All glory be, O God, to Thee.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
10 O Holy Three, we Thee adore,
We Thee adore,
This day, henceforth, for evermore.
