1 Come to the manger, follow the star,
Leading the wise men on from afar.
Gifts they are bringing, costly and fine;
Seeking the Christ Child, the Light divine.
Refrain:
Swing low, swing low, star in the sky,
Guarding the Christ Child, watching on high;
Swing low, swing low, star in the sky,
Guarding the Christ Child, watching on high.
2 Low lies His cradle; shepherds draw near
Kneeling in wonder, voices they hear.
Angelic singing fills all the air;
Joy Thou art bringing, O Child most fair. [Refrain]
3 Sleep, little Christ Child, Love watches near;
We guard Thy slumber, we hold Thee dear.
Led by the star of Thy life to the light,
We sing Thy welcome, Christ Child, tonight. [Refrain]
