An Infant lay within a shed, Where ox and ass were tied and fed; Hard by there stood a Maiden mild, Saint Mary, mother to the Child. [Refrain] My God, my Lord Jesus, 'Tis He was cradled thus. 2. With voices sweet in awe to Him There sung a Quire of Seraphim, "Praise, worship, glory," loud they cry, "To God whose kingdom fills the sky." [Refrain] 3. The herds, when they thereof heard say, Anon with gladness went their way To Bethlem; when they found Him there, That noble Child, full fain they were. [Refrain] 4. A bright star at the self-same tide Was by the three good kings espied: Afar from Eastern land they fare; A goodly present each doth bear. [Refrain] 5. Before yon Babe, of high degree, They kneel and pray on bended knee. Presenting gifts in reverence, Of gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. [Refrain] 6. Then Herod King, in mood unmild, Assayed to slay the royal Child: Fell many a babe at his command, But Christ was safe in Egypt-land. [Refrain] 7. When thirty years were fully past This Infant, He was cross'd at last, Was dead, and buried tomb within, That man eternal life might win. [Refrain] 8. But, on the third day, nothing else, He rose again, as Gospel tells: Ascended to His Father-land, There sitteth He at God's right hand.
