stood a lowly cattle shed,

where a mother laid her Baby

in a manger for His bed:

Mary was that mother mild,

Jesus Christ her little Child.

2. He came down to earth from heaven,

who is God and Lord of all,

and His shelter was a stable,

and His cradle was a stall;

with the poor, and mean, and lowly,

lived on earth our Savior holy.

through His own redeeming love;

for that Child so dear and gentle

is our Lord in heaven above,

and He leads His children on

to the place where He is gone.
