Refrain:
That boy-child of Mary was born in a stable,
a manger his cradle in Bethlehem.
What shall we call him, child of the manger?
What name is given in Bethlehem? Refrain
2 His name is Jesu, God ever with us,
God given for us in Bethlehem. Refrain
3 He came to save us, he came to help us,
born here among us in Bethlehem. Refrain
4 One with the Father, he is our Savior,
heaven-sent helper of Bethlehem. Refrain
5 Gladly we praise him, love and adore him,
give ourselves to him of Bethlehem. Refrain
